Hollywood finally called.

A movie was being filmed locally last May and they were looking for older cars and trucks. Movie is supposed to be set in 1961.

I registered with the location manager but just missed their filming. Well, out of the blue I got a call Tuesday night from the manager. He said they needed to do some more filming Wednesday night if I was interested. Drove into Longmont and the truck did the rest.
Lots of fun.










Blue convertible is the car they drive in the movie.

Absolutely perfect choice they made! It looks just like it would have in '61. Missing hubcap and all. Very, very cool

Outstanding! Great scenes. It's quite an experience being part of a movie shoot. One of our dogs was in a movie too, also with Jessica Alba. Stu

Cool, indeed. But isn't that a '63, '64 or '65 Ford fastback between the gold Chevy PU and the four door Chevy car? One way I see it, the headlights are horizontal and the other way, they appear vertical.

Tough to tell in that pic. I thought it was a 61 Chevy when I looked at it before. Now that you mention it, it does resemble a 64 Galaxie. Hmmmm.

Stu,

That's very interesting about your dog! How did that come about and what movie was it in?
