anyone ever have their car (charger or other) used in a movie/tv commercial?

As it turns out, our very own mod, Chris Giardina has his 69 on the movie time cars site also.

Yup been on there a long time...since that site first started.  No phone call for me though



Congrats

My 67 was used in The Box. There's one scene where it's very clearly in the shot as the staties come flying down the hill to the murder scene.

We got paid for the use of the cars. The paid us as extras.

It was kinda cool.

When I had a car of mine in a commercial shoot, there was a scene where they had to fight to get in a tight parallel parking spot. They put padding on the cars to prevent damage. The hot model driving my car did manage to rearend another car although she caused no damage. When I tried to coach her, they said I was making her nervous. They used another car as well and by the time the shooting was done, two of the cars were pretty near totalled! I asked the director about it and he said it was a rental. He was not concerned about the damage at all. As long as they get the shot they want, the damage is no concern. They just throw more money at it. I'm not saying don't let them use your car. Just don't do it unless you can watch your car at all times.

Chris, they said yours resembled the General Lee too much cause of the color (with the exception of the vinyl roof and such)  They initially wanted blue.   I guess red was their second choice.

I talked in great depth to the driver of the flat bed on the way to and from the location and we had about 4 hours to kill while we were waiting for the photographer to come down and do some still shots.  He was telling me that this company takes very good care of the stuff they rent as they have used them numerous times in the past.  He said the other client they have which does the show Person of Interest destroys cars left and right but those cars are owned by the production company or rentals that is owned by Movie Time Cars.

Is this actor driving your Charger somebody we'd actually recognize as a significant actor from a high budget movie?  ..or a forgotten scene from a low budget B movie by some unknown actor?

The actor that will be driving the car has been on a long running (about 7 years) TV series that was on prime time that I think ended in 2009 as well as being in other movies.

That was a "5 year mission" but, it lasted 13 years.

Plus I think that ended a LONG time before 2009.

He was in Boston Legal.

My car was used in the filming of 2 movies here in the Detroit area. positive experience for both. It was used in a static shot in Prayers for Bobby, a Sigoney Weaver film. Last summer it was used in a drive by action shot, me driving BTW, in the filming of Freaky Deaky,  a film to be released this summer.In both cases, I was with the car on the set and moved it myself. they paid very well, had lunch with cast and crew, they filled up the car with gas and gave me money towards a car wash. I would do it again in a heartbeat. (under those terms, of course)

Yes, that's the way to do it. If you need to disguise me as a woman, that's fine but, I wanna drive the damn car!

My  73 Mustang Mach 1 was used for the TV show I worked for in san Francisco in the 70's as well as my 72 Firebird that I owned before the mach 1. I then  traded off & sold the mach 1 to buy the #2  DMCL charger that was offered to all movie studios as a purchase car, I was able to grab it up with the help of our production motor pool man. I had the car for 2 years before the EX wiped it out before or divorce. I regret to this day not keeping it during that rough period in life, it wasn't really worth much money wise back then as it would be today. I still have some emblems i kept from the car.
