In almost any 1930 photograph you will not see anything older than about 1925...maybe 1920 if it's a rural area and poor. If its 1930 anything that was contemporary with WWI was hopelessly obsolete.

Dandy Dave Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I'm not all that far from Mass. Getting there would be only a two or three hour trip. However, No one drives my 1915 Buick Roadster but me. If something breaks or gives up I need to be the one in the drivers seat. Same goes with my well patinaed 1925 White Truck. And no, I won't just leave them there. In fact, If it is a genuine professional antique vehicle mechanic/ driver you need, I'd be the guy to hire.

C Carl Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Good morning, Kevin. My cars and I are on the West Coast. That, and the fact that I am elderly, disabled, and in deteriorating ill health, makes my participation impossible. I will email you some pictures of my 2 Cadillacs, (1924 & 1927), only to show you the colors these cars were originally. I respect and admire what you are doing. Having had other newer cars and trucks in movies, I wish I could have been of more assistance to you. I hope you are contacting every chapter of every appropriate car club within a reasonable radius of Boston. There should be sufficient Model A and T Fords of all body types to use in a range of time periods the movie covers. The population density of these and other old cars in the Northeast US, should be very aggressively targeted. Perhaps by contacting owners through top down club structure if possible. Obviously you have a difficult job ahead of you in the time frame necessary. I wish you the best of luck. - Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfudd Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 No, thank you. My toys range from 106 back to 116 years old. Your scripts probably don't envision them being driven by an 83-year-old geezer, and nobody but this geezer is going to drive them.

If I had something appropriate I would be but I only have one old car - a 1910 Mitchell - and it is VERY dismantled. Back in the 70s I was in the Robert Redford version of The Great Gatsby with my 1926 Cadillac (4 years too new for the book by the way) but the director wasn't that fussy and was more interested in what people thought the cars looked like than what they really would look like in 1922. If I remember correctly, there were only about 4 cars that were actually of the correct vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because these are period cars the pay will be very fair. You are, of course, more than welcome to accompany your car. The studio would prefer that the owners actually drive the cars in the shoot. I have an inquiry about accommodations at the shoot. I haven't heard back yet. As soon as I do I will post the answer for everyone. The shoot is, CURRENTLY, set for Mid-April and to run intermittently through June. These dates are subject to change. As of now the script is still in review. But they have secured a couple of locations (Of which I am not at liberty to disclose at this time.) Your car would be picked up at your home or our Hackettstown, NJ offices. What is your preference?

Graham Man Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 All over the place... this is my experience. I have only been in 2 major pictures, 2009 Public Enemies and 2011 Superman Man of Steel. I was on set for 9 days, they used the sound from one of my cars driving. They used my 1933 as a background car in one 5 second shot. We spent a day on Superman, they cut that scene completely. Long days, sun up till sun set, all 9 days, it is a lot of standing around. What they do well is make you feel like a movie star. I always asked for a hotel room, they usually have blocks of rooms rented at a local hotel, not a big deal for them, but nice for me, especially the "sun up" days. If you are a "background car" figure $200 a day maybe If you are a "driving car" $250 plus $75 for the driver "STAR CARS" get all the money $1500 plus a day, sky is the limit if they want your car badly. The big productions seem to just buy the "star cars", Grand Torino was an ebay purchase less issues with owners that way. Public enemies had a full crew just for the cars, they bought about 10 cars and a motorcycle for the movie, they gave the motorcycle to Johnny Depp after the filming.

Kevin Quirk Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 You're kinda right and wrong on a point or two. The studio will buy the car(s) if they plan on doing damage. If the plan is to use a car in a series they MAY buy it or they may rent it on a long term basis. The cars are insured from the studio at 100%, no deductible or limits. If cars are period cars (Greater than 20 -25 years old) they pretty much get the same rate regardless of whether they are driving or not. On this shoot that we're working on the owners are requested to drive their cars. Due to the idea that they are rather fickle. Rates for driving may vary from region to region based on SAG rates. You are certainly right about sit around and wait. John Cleese once mentioned that he doesn't get paid to act, he gets paid to wait. But, yes, they do feed you very well.

For a period correct car, of which you have, you can anticipate a per diem of about 4 to 500. Possibly more if the car is extremely rare and special.

Graham Man Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) If I remember correctly, yes, SAG sets the rates for the drivers...but not the cars? I was always the driver, bad part is you always need to be in shouting distance, they never look for you, one missed cue and they push your car to the side, and you are done. Was your experience with the rates the same? I am wearing the fedora, waiting, my 1929 Graham-Paige is on the right, lots of fun driving that day. Don't forget to ask for free gas, it was over $4 a gallon then, and they filled my tank, I think it holds 20 gallons....

Kevin Quirk Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Our business is movie cars. The studio does not set the price for the cars. But they do have a solid idea of what a car will be worth to a show. When we have cars on set we always have personnel on had to move the vehicle if need be. They won't toss you off set once they are using your car, but if no one is around when they wan to move it they will either move it themselves, with a qualified driver. But if you're off set when they want you, you better have a cell and some running sneakers. Time is money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Quirk Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 An update to the planned movie shoot in the MASS area. First of all, please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have. All of the vehicles provided by you have been cataloged and presented to the studio heads for their review and selection process. This is a fast track show so things will start to percolate pretty quickly. I'm told that the film start date should be around April 13. That doesn't mean that your car will automatically start on that date, but around there. We're still figuring out the per diem rates. Hero cars (Those that will be driven, most likely by you, the owner.) will command a higher rate. Cars that are also more rare than say a Model A or T will be paid a higher fee, regardless of being driven or not. Luxury cars, of the era, will be paid a higher rate also. There will most definitely be a private warehouse in the Boston area where the cars will be housed during the shoots. The studio wants the cars maintained in the warehouse so that they can count on the car being available when they need it. There will be a MINIMUM payment per car. Assume that rate paid to you in $300 per day. If you car only works for say, three days you will be paid the minimum amount. That hasn't been determined yet how many days will be considered a minimum, But for these purposes, say it's a six day minimum and your car only works for three days. You will be paid the six day minimum. If it works ten days, you'll be paid the ten days. Certificates of insurance will be issued in advance of the filming. That's about all we have at this time. Please feel free to use this forum to ask any questions. That way everyone is getting the same information and I'm not repeating myself four or five times.

Kevin Quirk Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Another bit of an update and a request for someone's expertise. Expertise first. The studio has changed the shoot a little bit. Minor, but important. Originally I said we needed vehicles from 1939 and back to the start of WW1. That has changed to vehicles from 1933 and back to the start of WW1. In the attched picture is a 1934 Ford Model A Roadster Pick-Up. Can someone tell me exatly what the difference is between a 1933 and a 1934? Not concerned with under chassis, engine bay or drive line. The concern is if there is a difference on the outside or interior that would be visible to a relatively trained eye. Regarding the other update is that they will begin choosing vehicles within two weeks and as the feeed me the information I will be contact those folks through the forum and personally. I've also been asked to get more photos. Full sides, front, back and interiors. If you have them, please email them to me at kevin@p3rents.com. If not, please try to take some. If that is not possible, then please try to find stock phots that are identical to your vehicle. Don't worry about stock photos being the wrong exterior color. We will use the photos you've already supplied and we will indentify that certain pics are stock photos. As for interiors please specify colors, material (leather or cloth) and other differences between you vehicle the the stock photos. Thank you very much for your help, expertise and time.
