faucet47custom Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 I know we all love old cars. Watching the new show on tv call Agent Carter. Had seen several old mopars on the show anyone's cars being used for filming? Quote

grady hawkins Posted January 7, 2015 Report Posted January 7, 2015 Nice D24 on ABC new program Marvels' Agent Carter! 1 Quote
Captain Neon Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I enjoyed the show very much. I would watch it just for the cars. Everything else is bonus! Perhaps the show will increase the ranks of diesel punks! I get tired of seeing people wearing flip flops and cut-offs to weddings and funerals. No class! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 you beat me to the post...here's hoping nothing old is ACTUALLY destroyed to make a TV show. I'd bet whomever lives in the area of filming is getting some bucks to lend their vehicles out for filming (with hefty insurance). Quote
ggdad1951 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Posted February 19, 2015 well been a few episodes now, all those shiny cars (and a few trucks)...makes me wonder if they ever considered to put a few non perfect vehicles in the show (only seen one so far) so it doesn't look SO perfect. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 We had our D24 in a remake of Lolita when we lived in El Paso (TX). For the scenes when it would have been "new", they left it clean. For the scenes where it would have been older, or in areas where a clean car would be out of role, they "aged" it - using a water mister and powdered baby formula. Made it look just like it had been well used and unwashed (duh). When the "transportation" casters were out and about looking for cars to be in the film, they looked for cars that weren't concours condition, they asked us to fix a couple things on our car, but not to fix a couple dents that made it look more like a period daily driver. The film industry also contracts with theatrical companies that maintain fleets of various cars, some nice and shiny, some not so much. But all in working order. For that Lolita remake, they used a company out of North Carolina that had recently provided the cars for Forest Gump. Interesting how some productions try to be uber authentic, and others don't even get the years right... Quote
Captain Neon Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 I think part of the reason that the Captain America/Agent Carter cars are in such good shape is that it is a Marvel comic book world so they take a few liberties and have cars that all look brand new. At least I haven't seen any shoebox Fords or '48 Tuckers yet! Next week may be the last episode, however. This an 8 episode pilot series, and I haven't read anything about ABC picking it up as a full series. Viewership has dropped a bunch since the first episode. Quote
