Galpin Motors Returns to Television With ‘Driven’

Galpin Auto Sports will return to television with a new series for Discovery Channel called “Driven.” The series follows Beau Boeckmann, Galpin Motors president and chief operating officer, custom car builder Dave Shuten and customization specialist “Mad Mike” Martin as they restore historic one-of-a-kind cars and reintroduce them back into the automotive history books. The first episode of “Driven” features the trio working on a DeTomaso Pantera that car designer Carroll Shelby modified for a secret project with Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca as part of a development program that would evolve into the Viper. Galpin Auto Sports, the customization division of Galpin Motors in North Hills, had previously hosted two seasons of “Pimp My Ride” on MTV. “Driven” premieres March 30 and will air every Monday at 9 p.m. on Discovery Channel.
