Season 5 of Car Masters: Rust to Riches is a year away, but we give you an insight on what to expect from the next season of the Gotham Garage show.
The fourth season of Gotham Garage's Car Masters: Rust to Riches did end on a high and suspenseful note. We came across quite a few fine builds like the Porsche-powered Elite Laser 917 build, the gothic 1980s Chevy Blazer, and the Speedway Motors Lincoln Zephyr rat rod parts delivery van build.
The Gotham Garage crew also did some intentionally over-the-top builds like the one-off carbon-fiber infused Chevy C3 Corvette for Jason Oppenheim and the fused rat-rod build using a T-Bucket and a Ranchero. We finally got closure on the questionably designed concept car and motorcycle duo as well. The drama was high, which is the main intriguing point of the show's longevity. And in good-old Gotham Garage fashion, the fourth season ended with a lot of suspense at hand.
With all the unfinished builds and a few new faces that we saw at the end of this season, we give you a brief on what to expect from Season Five of Car Masters, when it drops next year, most likely in July or August. There will be a very emotional build, more six-figure creations, and a bigger Gotham Garage family. Netflix hasn't confirmed on the release date or if there will be another season, but come on; we know there will be one!
Season 5 of Car Masters: Rust to Riches is a year away, but we give you an insight on what to expect from the next season of the Gotham Garage show.
The 1980s Chevy K5 Blazer build was solely done by Mark and the team to get hands on a 1957 Kenworth big rig. This truck is very close to Mark Towle's heart as his dad used it back in the day. Mark mentions that he has had a rough relationship graph with his father, but now they are currently in a better phase.
So, he wants to build a custom loud Gotham Garage-styled big rig using the Kenworth. The idea is to give it a wild paint job, get all the chrome up to mark, and make a head-turning show truck out of it. Mark has also promised on the truck to not be a tribute vehicle, and that he would sell it so that the whole team can reap on a chunky payday.

Gotham Garage was able to sell their concept car and motorcycle duo for a six-figure sum because of Nick Smith. He owns a consulting firm that takes care of connecting buyers and sellers of eccentric vehicles. He also connects with like-minded people via his website - classicavenue.com. Impressed by the level of creativity in the concept duo, Mr. Smith decided to join forces with Mark and the crew to take their business to new heights.
He will be indulging Gotham Garage in more six-figure builds, thanks to his vast connect of high-end clientele base. So, we can expect to see a lot more builds like that of Jason Oppenheim's and the Six-Figure 1940 Woody Station Wagon that we came across in Season three of Car Masters.

Along with a premium client base, Nick also introduced two experienced fabricators to the Gotham family. Brian and James have been working with Nick on many high-end cars, and so they know a thing or two about what the top-notch customer base expects from a fine custom build.
Many of the builds on Gotham Garage, let's face it, are very poorly done. The metal work is not refined and even in episodes, we can see rough edges during close-up shots. We all know that the show is primarily an entertainment haven, and then a bundle for any automobile enthusiast.
But we believe that with the introduction of these two fabricators, the quality and ideology of custom work will take a toss for the better. Who knows, Gotham Garage might even come close to the quality as seen in Gas Monkey Garage show - Fast N' Loud.

Entertainment has always been a constant in Car Masters: Rust to Riches. The cast has always been perfect, vibrant, and most importantly, not boring. Tony is the geek, Constance makes engines take in style, Mark is the strategic planner, Shawn is the one that brings home the deals and money, and Caveman is the life and soul of this show!
The balance was always right when it came to drama. But now we will have to see how the team works on their chemistry with the two new entrances to this wacky family. But no matter how messy things get, Season Five of Car Masters: Rust to Riches is sure to have more entertainment and spicier visual drama. There's a reason this show has four seasons already on Netflix!
