I never knew there existed such a movie resource, but it stands to reason there would be, considering the need for period-cars for some pics.

I'd guess there are a fair number of companies whose business it is to rent cars to the movie-making and similar industries; there are two here in northern New Jersey, (1) Cars of Yesteryear in Alpine, and (2) Cars for Films in Newark, NJ. Both have their own stable of cars and when something is needed that they don't have they "put out the call" to other collectors for suitable vehicles. I've abstained when called due to a few "horror stories" but some of my friends have taken up the offer, generally you get a couple of hundred $ for a day's appearance.
