Cars for film & TV hire

1940s cars for film & TV hire

For forties work, start with the script’s place and date rather than treating the whole decade as one visual setting. A domestic visit, a working yard and a town street need different traffic. Older cars can help avoid an implausibly uniform lineup. Visible lettering, vehicle dressing and number plates should be considered alongside the buildings and clothes in the shot. The 1940s selection has 37 listings, dating from 1940 to 1949; use the year on each vehicle page to refine a search around the date in your script. The main categories here are Classic, American and Military; browse the individual vehicles with their part in the scene in mind, whether featured or parked in the background. Among the colours listed, green, black and blue appear most often; look through the vehicles with the scene’s clothes, props and location beside your visual reference.
