ABOUT CDTV

CDTV follows avid car collector/enthusiast Dirk Burrowes and his co-hosts as they explore the world of automotive restoration, collection, and history.

 CDTV will be centered around a private showroom setting and restoration facility. This amazing facility allows for a full-scale show production with plenty of visuals and working space to produce content required for the base segments of the production.

CDTV also features field trips to various New England locations as part of the series. For many years, as a collector himself, Mr. Burrowes has developed knowledge as well as relationships with key industry/private enthusiasts across the region. This aspect will allow CDTV access to exclusive content at places across New England and beyond.

Mr. Burrowes has developed a “team” of experts that are available to the production including writers, graphic designers and internet marketing professionals. This automotive “Dream Team” combined with a hand-picked production team is well into shooting the series. The team includes Automotive experts from all around the US and abroad as well as other industry outlets. The “Dream Team” will continue to expand as the show gets its footing.

“At the Bench”
This segment allows introduction to the featured automobile along with other subject matter. The set is designed to include background video and allow the in/out clips to make this segment more interesting than just the presenter discussions.

“Featured Car”
This segment is self-explanatory; however, our twist is that we invite the owner in for discussion as we look at the car and dig into the real motivations for owning and enjoying the car.

“In the Shop”
This segment will feature in-process restorations and preservations along with useful tips on buying, maintaining and owning a classic automobile. In the Shop will showcase a wide range of cars and tool tips as well as some visiting specialty mechanics as well as the regular crew.

“Modern/Vintage”
This segment centers around comparing the original to the modern models i.e. New dodge Challenger to the Original. Features will include side by side drive comparisons and interviews with owners with the goal of providing the viewer a perspective of how far and not so far technology has come in the automotive world

“Drive Time”
No good automobile show can be without a drive segment and CDTV includes drive and interview segment that includes multiple cameras and wireless mics in the car along with a fully outfitted chase vehicle. Some drives will be a destination; others will be scenic drives; but most all will celebrate New England.
