Welcome to the Television / Motion Picture Car Club, the world's first car club for those of us in the entertainment industry. The club's acronym is spelled TMPCC (pronounced "Timp See").

 

The history of Hollywood's love affair with the automobile goes back to the very early days of motion pictures. Ever see footage of the old Keystone Cops movies and all the death defying chase scenes? How about more recent films like: American Graffiti, Bullitt, Gone in 60 Seconds or the Fast and the Furious? When it comes to television, remember the Ford Torino in Starsky and Hutch, the Dodge Charger in the Dukes of Hazard or the Ferrari in Magnum P.I. Cars have always been a large part of the Hollywood lexicon.

 

The actors of Hollywood's Golden Era were also passionate about cars. Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Tyrone Power, Douglas Fairbanks and even Mary Pickford all owned the fastest and most exotic cars of their day. In the 60's and '70's, Steve McQueen, James Garner, Paul Newman, James Dean, Sammy Davis Jr., Elvis Presley and even Frank Sinatra all owned custom cars. Fast forward to the present and we see Jay Leno, Frankie Muniz, Tim Allen and many other Hollywood personalities carrying on the tradition of owning and driving some of the coolest automobiles on the road.

 

TMPCC has organized this legacy into the very first car club of its kind, where anyone in the entertainment industry can get together, renew old friendships, make new ones, network and share our passion for the automobile.

 

TMPCC was founded by and is run by entertainment industry professionals. Members include: studio executives, producers, directors, actors, stuntmen, prop masters, set designers, editors, camera operators, graphic artists, movie car designers, radio and television personalities, and just about every other position that makes up our industry. Members own all sorts of vehicles from daily drivers to sports cars, muscle cars to exotics, some even own famous vehicles from movies and television shows, but you don't need to own a Ferrari, a Lamborghini or the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard, any vehicle in excellent condition, that you're proud to own and display is welcome.

 

Several events are held each year. Event announcements are emailed to our members, which allows us to keep the cruise dates and destinations secret from the prying eyes of the general public, so we aren't bothered by gawkers, stalkers or paparazzi when we hold our private events. The only events we post on our website are those that are open to the public, such as the July 4th Fireworks Festival at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, California, which is an event for charity.

 

Dues are only $35.00 per year. You'll be issued a TMPCC membership badge and decal for your car or truck. Full membership allows you to attend all our events throughout the year and you're able to take advantage of the discounts that are offered on our Members Discount page. Dues help offset the cost of website hosting, custom laminated membership badges, leasing event locations, insurance, postage and all the other costs associated with running the club. All the information can be found on our JOIN TMPCC page on this website.

 

We even have an Associate Member program that allows those of you who are not in the entertainment industry to join the first and only entertainment industry car club on the planet. You'll be issued an official TMPCC Associate Membership badge, a TMPCC decal and you're even allowed to attend our annual car show which is held at a major television or motion picture studio. Just go to our JOIN TMPCC page on this website and click on the Associate Membership link.

 

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, we currently have member discounts in place for wheels, tires, batteries, detailing, wheel alignments, wheel balancing, paint work, parts fabrication, suspension components, as well as engine and transmission swaps. You'll even find deals on pre-owned exotics, classics and muscle cars, not to mention cost pricing on financing and service contracts (extended warranties) through participating sponsors. We continue working to get members additional discounts through participating businesses, so check our Members Discount page for the latest deals. As you can see, your membership will only become more valuable over time.

 

We encourage you to join and look forward to seeing you at our next event!
