In the post, Robbie, 62, spoke about an event planned in Iowa in August.
The huge Americana weekend will involve people showing and selling antiques, vintage cars, and other pieces of history.
Kicking off the clip, Robbie sped into frame in a vintage car, before getting out and greeting his fans.
"Don't forget, Bettendorf Americana's coming up August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. You need to get your vendor spaces in, and if you're going to show a car, hit us up and let us know," the television star encouraged.

He added, "If you're coming from afar we love that, we got guys coming from California, South Dakota, Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Idaho. Reach out... we'll see you there."
Away from Robbie's personal news, fans have begged for Robbie to be fired from American Pickers and called for Frank Fritz, 57, to return to the show.
In the comment section of an Instagram post showing off the new series, one fan begged, "Please don't pair Jersey [Jersey Jon] with Robbie and tell Robbie to quit being such a frickin grouch.
"This show is such a feel-good show and so positive don't bring grouchiness into it."

"I genuinely feel like he ruins the whole thing," another snarked of Robbie's personality.
Robbie's brother, Mike Wolfe, 59, was the one who publicly revealed that Frank had been fired from the show in July 2021.

MOVING ON?
While fans call for Robbie to leave the show, an insider has claimed that Robbie and his brother may already be ready to call it quits.
A pal of Mike’s exclusively told The U.S. Sun, "I don’t know how long the show will last. I don’t know how long Mike and Robbie want to do this. I think they would like to retire at some point. It’s been 12 years.
“It’s a strain on your life. They’ve done this a long time. When they’re around it’s, ‘Ah we’re on the road again. I ain’t got time to do this, I ain’t got time to do that.'"
The added, “It’s a love-hate like with any job. Some days you don’t wish you had that job and you could do whatever you wanted. Some days you’re all excited about your job.”
While the future of the show seems up in the air, Season 25 kicked off with dire ratings for the premiere episode, with just 723,000 viewers tuning in.
Now, however, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed a major turnaround, with the January 24 episode, The Five Generation Pick, bringing in the highest ratings of the season with 948,000 viewers.
EASY PICKINGS
Despite Robbie's unclear status on the show, his co-star Danielle Colby, 48, recently opened up about the dynamic behind the scenes between herself and her co-stars.
Robbie, Mike, and Danielle host the show alongside new full-time cast member, Jon “Jersey Jon” Szalay.
Danielle shared a video of the cast, crew, and their loved ones as they gathered together for a meal, and gushed, "For many years @haley.atkin and I have been collecting video and photos of our road dog diaries with the AP crew.
"A good amount gets shared to my Patreon for our Road Dog Diaries blog. But most of it never gets shared, it just goes directly into my archives."

She revealed in the caption of her social media post that she loved having dinner with her castmates and the crewmembers after the show wrapped, explaining how "everybody got to relax."
The television star added, "Tensions are low, everyone is in the mind to celebrate, and there’s always beautiful wine, fantastic food, so many stories from the road, from the early days when Mike and I met and clicked, and from Mike and Robbie’s childhood..."
