Cameras roll on Discovery Canada’s “Last Car Standing”

Last Car Standing

Proper Television found the country’s biggest road hazards as part of its popular Canada’s Worst Driver series for Discovery Canada.

Now the indie producer has started production on Last Car Standing, also for Discovery Canada, an elimination-style car competition series to find the most atrocious cars on the country’s roads. Each of the eight one-hour episodes ordered by Discovery pits the owners of five atrocious vehicles against one another to see which car is best.

After each race, one driver is eliminated and forced to watch as their favorite jalopy gets impaled on the “spike of shame.” The last-car-standing gets a CDN$10,000 restoration, along with the bragging rights for its owner.

Last Car Standing, an original format for Proper Television, will be filmed in Ontario through September, with the series launching winter 2013. It is executive produced by Guy O’Sullivan, with Blair Ricard producing and Wayne Moss and Joey Case as the series directors.

As a participant on this new show, I have to say it is insane, unbelievable and unpredictable. It is a must see.

All i know is they littered my neighbor hood with a bunch of sea containers (Huge eye sore) and they are using the worst film location the old car lot they are using has the very bad “road” ground conditions even and all the “props” look so rusty and beat down talk about low budget i hope ur editors are real GOOD

Being that they are seeking “atrocious old junkers” I think one can safely assume that the “rusty and beat down” props were intentional in order to match the set which was, yes, filmed in a terrible *neighbourhood but look at it this way, at least this show could finally be one good thing that comes out of the Dixie/Lakeshore area.

Can’t wait to see what they’ve done with the show!

We recently drove by the old set. All that stands is the old dealership. You wouldn’t have known that the set was there.
