proof that learning never stops

Anyone know why these cars were in the Oceans 11 warehouse they filmed some of the movie scenes in?

terrible quality, so much for the nonsense they say about DVD quality.

Images vintage gas station and truck from the movie "Hoover"

some neat stuff shows up in period correct movies

The Mel Brooks "Spaceballs" movie hovercraft

In the Justice Brothers Museum, 2nd building

The well animated vehicles from the movie "Tin Tin", quite the variety

A train crash in the movie "Hugo" replicates the famous Oct 1895 Granville-Paris Express wreck photo... pretty cool to include that in a movie

here is the original

The engine careened across almost 98 ft of the station concourse, crashed through a 2 foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and sailed out of the station, plummeting onto the Place de Rennes 33 ft below, where it stood on its nose. All on board the train survived, five sustaining injuries: two passengers (out of 131), the fireman and two conductors; however, one woman on the street below was killed by falling masonry. The accident was caused by a faulty Westinghouse brake and the engine drivers who were trying to make up for lost time. A conductor incurred a 25 franc penalty and the engine driver a 50 franc penalty.

I've posted that old photo before, because it's just amazing to me. Trains falling out of buildings... not very often that happens http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-of-most-impressive-photos-ive-seen.html

Men In Black 3 ( MIB3 ) is going to be another great MIB movie, and in this one, J and K ride motor wheels!

 Looks like they are strored under and inside the 66 Ford (Fairlane?) for quick deployment

the Steve McQueen dune buggy from "The Thomas Crown Affair" , Faye Dunaway looks like she's screaming every time they caught air

I felt the Steampunk desire today, So I watched "Steamboy" and grabbed these screen shots, cool movie, just make sure to select the language options of your native tongue and avoid reading the whole thing

 any movie with a motorwheel can't be bad. A steam powered one is even better.

 Good kid has a runn in with the bad guys trying to steal the plans and prototype his inventor dad and grand dad sent him, and the kid tries to escape, using that motorwheel, gets chased to a locomotive, which gets attacked by a blimp ...

 later the bad guys send out an army of armored soldiers, and this aeronaut

who all are engaging in a war with the british who have these cool old tanks. The time frame is Victorian, and before any vehicles but the trains and tanks. 

Leatherheads, the movie, had some great vehicles from the 1920's... George Clooney driving a motorcycle and sidecar, and Rene Zellweger. Good movie

 I looked carefully at the motorcycle, and can't see who made it. Could be any of several bike companies

 I just learned that these were both made by Eddie Paul, Thanks to Neil Larson for sending me these!
