Are there any roled vehicles? Or is it all background? This one at least is vintage, and we have allowed these before, but I'm going to check with the admins.

This one antp was not too enthusiastic about, do you have examples of the cars with roles you would add?

My concern was is that we have so many vehicles of these years already, and being a non-car documentary it has not much in common with the original subject of the site.
If vehicles are used, I guess it is already more acceptable than just random background vehicles. Though that these are not really "roles" if it is not a fiction movie...
I don't know if it should be listed or not :D

The cars are all Chevies, so nothing uncommon there, but the trucks look interesting. They may be unique.

CougarTim wrote Looks more like a portable generator or pump and not a self-propelled vehicle.
