Welcome to the official website of the Television Motion Picture Car Club, the world's first and only entertainment industry car club. TMPCC is open to anyone from the television, motion picture, music, radio, sports and motor sports communities. If you love cars, we hope you'll become a member of the most unique car club in the world. The history of Hollywood's love affair with the automobile goes back to the early days of motion pictures. Ever see a Keystone Cops short with all those death defying chase scenes? How about more recent films like: American Graffiti, Bullitt, The Fast and the Furious or Gone in 60 Seconds? When it comes to television, remember the Ford Torino from Starsky and Hutch, the Ferrari from Magnum P.I. or the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazard. Cars have been, and always will be a large part of the Hollywood lexicon.
The actors of Hollywood's Golden Era were also passionate about cars. Charlie Chaplin, Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Jean Harlow, Tyrone Power and many others owned the fastest and most exotic cars of their day. Actors who came into their own in the 1950's, 60's and 70's, like James Dean, Steve McQueen, James Garner and Paul Newman raced cars when they weren't on set. Ricky Nelson owned several Porsche's, Elvis Presley owned a DeTomaso Pantera and Frank Sinatra owned a Lamborghini Mura, a 1955 Thunderbird and many other choice rides.
In the present day, Tim Allen, Adam Carolla, Patrick Dempsey, Jay Leno, Joe Rogan, Sylvester Stallone, Christopher Titus, Mark Wahlberg and many other personalities are carrying on the tradition of owning and driving some of the coolest vehicles on the road. TMPCC has organized this legacy into the first car club of its kind, where anyone who works or has worked in the entertainment, sports or motor sports communities can get together and share their passion for the automobile. The club is a fantastic way to connect with old friends, make new ones and see some incredible cars all at the same time. Members own vehicles from daily drivers to exotics, classics to muscle cars, sports cars to customs, hot rods to motorcycles, some even own famous vehicles from television and motion pictures. But you don't need to own a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Batmobile to be in the club, any vehicle you're proud to own is welcome. Our members have worked in front of the camera and behind the scenes on many buster motion pictures and hit television shows. Some examples include The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, Fast Five, Rush Hour 3, The Bucket List, Grindhouse, The Green Hornet, The Runaways, Taxi, The Town, Batman, Aliens, The Thing, Predator, Crank High Voltage, Faster, Knight and Day, Entourage, Sons of Anarchy, Vampire Diaries and Top Gear America. Some of the television shows our members have hosted or been featured on include: Car Warriors, Hot Rod TV, Rides, Speed TV's Test Drive, Ultimate Car Build Off, The World's Fastest Car Show, and many more. We host several private events and we also attend many public events each year. Information about our private events is forwarded to our members via email, which allows us to keep the dates and destinations secret from the general public. This helps insure that our members aren't bothered by gawkers, stalkers or the paparazzi on event days. The only events we post in the public domain are those where the public is allowed to attend. One example is our annual car show, which is a charity event held in conjunction with the Fourth of July Fireworks Festival at CBS Studio Center in Studio City, California. Membership allows you to attend all our public and private events throughout the year. You can take advantage of the discounts offered on our Members page and you will be issued a laminated membership badge and our hot rod motion picture camera on wheels decal for your vehicle. To join, just go to the JOIN TMPCC page on this website. If you would like to feature the Television Motion Picture Car Club, our members or their vehicles in any media, from magazines to television, radio to motion pictures, or you would like hire them for your next project, contact us at TMPCC@TMPCC.ORG We encourage you to join and hope to see you at our next event, where you never know what you'll see or who you'll meet. |
