Cars in Movies - Database. Wow!

[coldplugs]

Maybe this has been mentioned but it's new to me - The "Internet Movie Cars Database" at https://www.imcdb.org/ currently has over 4000 car makes listed in over 44,000 movies, TV shows, and other videos & films. The initial car list has about 200 makes but if you clock on the link at the end of the list you'll see all of them. Also includes motorcycle. Talk about a time waster...

Lots of those old movies are on YouTube and it's fun to scroll through them to see the car scenes. I particularly like the ones where the cars were used in a chase.

I sent them a note about a siting in a movie a year or two back, I don't even remember what, but I do remember I was curious about the process, someone got back to me quickly and the car/movie association was added to the list. I will have to check out youtube for the old movies. I already waste too much time listening to old music there.

I watched Elvis in "Viva Las Vegas" last night, and the cars in there, many of them crashed, would amount to millions of dollars today. Here's a list from the database...

If you watch Elvis' race scene in Spinout, a Ferrari 250 Spider gets squeezed out at a bridge crossing and ends up in a river but somehow miraculously turns into a TR4 by the time you see it in the water.

This database is fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

And that Cobra miraculously turns into a special bodied Healey when it hits the water:
