3-Days, 3 Different "Driver Cars"


We filmed owners and their cars for the last 3 days and for each day I used a different "Driver Car", did the same thing for all the shoots so far. It's been pretty cool because to date, anyone that I've asked if we could use their car for the TV show has been completely accommodating.

On Tuesday, we used the 1970 Cutlass, it's a great driving car and it's been recently put through a complete buff-out so the paint is clear and glossy.






On Wednesday, we used Behemoth, my friend David's Custom Kodiak, this was a blast because it's really a lot of fun to drive around, everyone looks and most people give you a thumbs up with a big smile.





Today, (Thursday), we used a 1970 Convertible Malibu and it this was a blast to drive around to since we've had some really great sunny weather lately...






One of the guys I've met through the TV show is really cool, his name is Earl and not only does he have some really cool cars in his garage, but he has a great sense of humor and as you can see... he and his work van will be in some B-Roll footage for his segment in his "Man Cave".





It's been a long 3 days of shooting but we've met some really cool people and we're going to be showcasing them and their cars starting when our TV show debuts starting on Sunday, April 3rd.

Tomorrow is a catch-up day for me since I've been out of the office and off the forums for the last 3 days.

Monday, we'll be shooting "Features" here at the Show Car Garage Studio, these features will be 1, 2, and 3 minute how-to segments embedded inside the TV show that will showcase our sponsors and their products.

You just got to love that 70 convertible....

You sure that Malibu is a '70? Looks like a '71 or '72 -- the '70 had square tail lights, not round. Example:

I'll check with the owner tomorrow. These are busy, fast moving days... I had my pick of any of the cars at Blue Marlin Motors here in Stuart, Florida and since it was sunny out I chose the convertible, don't remember if he even said the year, the "body styles" all look pretty close.

Thanks for pointing the differences out...

Regardless... can't tell you how much fun it was driving the Malibu around as it ran great and gets it on!


Long day... time to push away from the keyboard...
