I received this email today addressed to the club, and thought I would pass it on for all those who may be interested…
Greetings,
My name is Christopher Plummer and I’m the Production designer for a USC student short film called “A Father’s Story” that is shooting in central Massachusetts this month. The film takes place in a quintessential New England farm house in 1972 and 1984. I’m looking to rent a few specific cars for the film. I’ve rented cars from several of your members over the past couple of years and they seem to have a great time. Previously you have been very generous in spreading the word to your members. Thanks!
In the past I’ve been able to give a more generous day rate, but this time it’s a very small project and I have very little to work with. We are insured and can provide the owner with an insurance certificate. We are shooting in Berlin and Grafton, MA. There will be food and good company.
Here’s what we are looking for:
1) 1975-1985 4 door, standard transmission. The kind of car an average college girl would drive. Nothing too sporty or too frumpy. A very common car, one that I could find a double of if needed. Perhaps a Volvo, Mercedes, or Saab. Standard transmission is a must have. We want to rent it from August 12-24. We only have $500 for the rental.
2) Pickup truck. 1970-1984. Can be worn down. We need it for two days: August 18 and 23. We have $125/day for this car.
3) 1968-1974 family car or station wagon. We want to affix (and then remove) a tow hitch on this car. We can pay you $125 to join us with your car on set for a day: August.
Can you pass word along to any of your members who may be interested in helping us with their vehicle?
Thank you again,
Christopher Plummer
Production Designer

If you haven’t renewed your POCI dues, please do so as soon as possible. It’s only $20, less than the cost of a full tank of gas for your Pontiac! You’ll get an enlightening newsletter, and meet lots of great people who enjoy much of the same interests as you do. Plus, a portion of everyone’s dues go to the Steve P. Razor Blade Fund! So give today!

Here is a fantastic video of the 2007 All GM Show from Keith Maffei. Keith is the grandson of long time Yankee POCI member Lou Maffei. Keith and his dad Gary drove their 1990 C4 Corvette from NH to the Yankee POCI All GM that weekend.
So sit back, relax and watch 10 minutes of some great classics and make sure you turn up your speakers too, it has a great soundtrack! Many thanks Keith for the fantastic job!
