Dream Car Garage

Dream Car Garage is a weekly television show produced by Westward Wind Productions for 11 seasons. The series is produced in Halton Hills, Ontario. Its host is Peter Klutt, a car enthusiast and the owner of Legendary Motorcar Ltd. Many of the vehicles featured in the show come from the Legendary Motorcar Company. From 2002 to 2008 Klutt's co-host was motor journalist and race announcer Tom Hnatiw. After his retirement Hnatiw was succeeded in 2009 by television personality Michelle Jobin for two seasons. Jobin's successor from 2011 on has been comedian Marni Van Dyk. The Canadian racing driver Ron Fellows was an occasional guest co-host from 2008 to 2010.

Regular features

The show focuses on what it considers to be the dream cars of the regular, "everyday man". It features a Classic Dream Car segment (presented by Klutt), which centers around an older car that would appeal to collectors or simply a nostalgic buyer, as well as a Modern Dream Car segment (presented by Hnatiw) which involves a modern supercar or high-performance vehicle.

Every season, the team chooses an old or broken down car and repairs/tunes it for the show.
