Television psychiatrist Dr. Phil is dealing with a tough loss. His car, a two-door vintage '57 Chevy convertible worth $100,000, was stolen from a repair shop.
Dr. Phil, whose full name is Dr. Phil McGraw, was having some car trouble with his 1957 Chevy. After the car wouldn't start, Dr. Phil tried to work on the transmission with a friend. After unsuccessful attempts, he had it sent to a repair shop in Burbank, Calif., according to TMZ.
Dr. Phil, 61, was waiting for a call, letting him know that his precious vehicle was ready to be picked up, but instead he got a call that no car lover ever wants to hear. His car had been stolen.
Police are investigating the theft of the classic car with an estimated cost of $100,000. In an early investigation, police found that the thieves broke a roll-up door to the shop and drove away with the pricey vintage vehicle.
According to United Press International., Dr. Phil's car was a black '57 Chevy with white and silver trim, red leather interior and a V8 engine.
Dr. Phil is a longtime car fan. He has also owned a Chevy Camaro and sold his 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider and a 2001 Gemballa Porsche Turbo at the Barrett-Jackson auction company in Palm Beach in 2006, according to the Christian Post.
Dr. Phil became rose to fame with the help of Oprah as he used to appear on her talk show. In 2002, he was given his own television show.
