The Cars That Drove Us is a family-friendly, eight-episode docuseries where Dunham hits the road alongside ventriloquist dummy pals Bubba J, Peanut, and Walter to explore the unbelievable history, anecdotal stories, and biggest blunders behind some of the most iconic vehicles to ever drive on this planet. Cars began rolling off the assembly line over 100 years ago, and over two billion vehicles later, we all can’t get enough. Taking viewers into his personal garage — home to 130 legendary cars — Dunham reveals the storied history of era-defining rides, from the Corvette Stingray to the ill-fated Vector W8, as told by the engineers, artists, and socket slingers who built them.
We were first to report on the project, produced for Discovery Channel by The Nacelle Company and Dunham’s Red Wire Blue Wire, last January. Dunham exec produces alongside Brian Volk-Weiss, who also directs, along with Cisco Henson, Ian Mallahan, Davina Dobrovech, Robert Hartmann, Matt McNeil, and Steve Reich. Ian Mallahan (Game Face, WWE Next Gen) serves as showrunner.
