That movie was Knight and Day I think. They ran a 66 GTO or clone pretty hard in that one.

One of the crew did knock over one of the light stands onto the car off the set - but I agree that the studio made it right with him and he was happy. That request came to me through our GTO club website, I passed it on to Les, and Les to Norm with his gold '67.

One of the '67 convertibles in our club had the paint blistered in a magazine shoot with the lights too close to the car, but they also stepped up and cut a check for the paint repair.

I had my Cruiser accepted for a street scene in Men In Black III, and had the car ready; then two days before the start I was notified the complete street scene had been dropped.

Have a brother-in-law that has a stock restored '54 Ford pickup, and he had the truck in two different Clint Eastwood films only to have a couple days work end up on the cutting room floor. While his truck is 0 for 2, he was liked well enough that they call him to drive a lot of different prop cars for general traffic scenes. He was working daily for awhile as a driver of different cars on the series Agent Carter.

Most car requests die an unanswered death after reaching me. We have a quite a few requests for music video cars, and I bet a lot of those wannabe videos are going to be done with a cell phone.
