Re: Never rent your car to the studios
My 1939 Ford Fordor was in the Hawaii 5.0 episode shoot that flashbacked to 1941. However, it made the cutting room floor and not the final episode. On shoot day in Manoa, the cars were all Model As except for one 1932 Model B sedan and my '39. I was able to drive the car when it needed to be moved and no one mistreated it when I wasn't in/around it. So I didn't have a bad experience.
There were very few original V-8s on Oahu so the filming company took what it could get. Hawaii 5.0 isn't a period piece so a lack of age-correct cars is probably forgivable. It was a bit disappointing that my car was closest in year to 1941 and didn't feature in the final version.
