‘Overhaulin'’ Episode Featuring IB Man's Car to Air Tuesday

Navy sailor and Imperial Beach resident David Currier had his car stolen last month, but it was for a good cause.

The crew from the Velocity by Discovery network show “Overhaulin'” took his 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 last month, restored it to mint condition and revealed the fixed up classic at Coronado Firehouse in Coronado. 

The episode airs on the Velocity network at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Coronado Firehouse will host a viewing party Tuesday evening for its moment in the spotlight on national television.

The restaurant made this giddy announcement on its Facebook page:

“Alright all you Coronado locals, the night has finally arrived! For all of you that were in attendance for the unveiling of David Currier's 1964 Olds DYN.88, the night to look for yourself on TV is this coming TUESDAY MAY 14th at 6pm on the Velocity Channel. We will be having a viewing party here at the Firehouse, with drink and food specials going on all night. So come down, have some fun, and look for yourself and the Coronado Firehouse on national TV!!!”

The show drew curious residents to the Orange Avenue eatery as the show taped its crew doing the job of unveiling the redesigned clunker they had confiscated from the owner. 

The Firehouse was chosen for the reveal, producers said, because it happened to be hosting a fundraiser for the foundation established in the memory of Patrick Feeks, a Navy SEAL who died in Afghanistan in 2012.
