Thought you all might enjoy hearing about a little adventure I had last week with my ’67 Monaco…
A month or two ago, my wife saw a casting call in the Boston Globe for classic cars to be used in a movie. I replied, and didn’t hear back until a couple weeks ago. Turns out they wanted my car for the movie! The scene was a used car lot in the late 1970’s, so there were about a dozen other classic cars. (Well, some classics, and some that were just plain tired.) It was like being at a car show. Mine was parked next to a gorgeous 1963 Imperial!
I got called back for another day of shooting, this time in a suburban neighborhood. It was a scene where one of the stars tears up the street in an Eldorado and drives onto the front lawn. I think they shot the scene so that he pulls up right in front of my car. Of course, you never know what scenes will be kept or cut from the final movie, but if you see it, keep your eyes peeled for copper-colored ’67 Monaco hard top. There’s also a clean ’68 Newport coupe which belongs to a local company that rents out movie cars. I was hoping it would be near my Monaco, but alas two C-bodies were too much. (Probably couldn’t get them both to fit in the shot!)
The movie is by the same guy who did Silver Linings Playbook and it has some of the same stars. It’s about a corruption scandal where the FBI ran a sting against some politicians. Should be interesting… and I can promise it will have great cars!
