Title: Movie cars data base
Post by: Two Crabs on December 09, 2013, 08:44:41 AM
Is there a web site or company that keeps track of cars that can be used on TV or in a movie?

I have several classic BMW, Triumph and Yamaha motorcycles plus my Chevelle and ElDorado that I would rent out .

I don't know if there is a national database sort of thing but more locally you could look up and see if your area has a film board.   The film board is the local group that a film maker works with when they come to your area to shoot.  They help the company find everything they need which I would imagine could include cars.

Hi,

There is an internet movie car database:

That site is what I originally thought he was thinking about but after reading further he wants to let it be known that he has vehicles that are available for use in movies.   That site is to identify the cars that were used in tv and movies.   I have looked at it before its kinda fun.

Oops, my bad.  Using Google, it wasn't easy to find agencies (googling Cars and Movies usually leads to sites about Pixar's movie, Cars.), but googling "cars for movies" brought up a few agencies that specialise in supplying cars for the movie industry.  If you goggle that with your location, you might find something to suit. 

Cheers,  Greg.
