Some serious machines in this one. Set in WW2, Captain America should be an interesting war/action epic. These shots feature the stunt doubles preparing for a scene. Follow the jump for a few more.

The AutoTrader Classics Redster is Launched!

By Fireball Tim

Movie Car Design Master

Well, it’s official. Cat’s outta the bag and there’s no stopping it. Redster, the movie truck I’ve been working on, is here to stay. Sunday’s launch was a huge success, with more than 250 in attendance. The crew from Star Car Central and Knights of the West Coast all came in for a huge party. We had visitors from all over the country as the awesome KLOS DJ Uncle Joe Benson opened the show. Then came the food, a ton of cool cars and the lead-up to the Redster’s big reveal.

Official photos will be published soon–keep an eye on the Redster’s Facebook page for all upcoming build episodes, starting next week, along with more pics from the launch party and the build. And for now, follow the jump for some more pics from the party!

Mad Max Interceptor Replica

By Michael Berenis

Tampa Sports Car Examiner

This supercharged Interceptor replica is totally for the Road Warriors. The only thing it’s missing is Mel Gibson, and frankly I wouldn’t trust him behind the wheel of a golf cart let alone this beauty. Read more about the replica at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Driving Test Scene From License To Drive

By Jen Dunnaway

Editor

I’d forgotten how awesome this cornball flick was. This was from way back in the day when Corey Haim (R.I.P.) was just an adorable little kid and the California DMV apparently ran a fleet of 80′s Escorts and Chevettes for their driving tests. Love it!

$200K Ecto-1 on Hemmings

By Jen Dunnaway

Editor

But is it one of the original movie cars, which might actually command such a price? Or just a very detailed clone built after the fact for exhibition? The ad carefully side-steps this issue, but it’s worth a look.

NASCAR Transformers Spied in Chicago

By Chris Bicknell

It looks as though the Decepticons have found a new disguise for the upcoming Transformers 3 movie, scheduled for release in 2012. These wild NASCAR-impersonating robots from outer space were seen tearing up the streets of Chicago during filming for the anticipated blockbuster this past weekend. Chevrolet’s presence has been strong throughout the recent popular Hollywood recreation of the 1980′s cartoon series, most notably with Bumble Bee, the yellow and black concept Camaro and the more recent Corvette Stingray concept, both of which were sighted as well during the Chicago shoot. So it’s no surprise that all three of the NASCAR themed stunt-cars are modeled after Chevy-sponsored teams. Check out more pictures after the jump, and see the full story at seibertron.com.

Christine vs. The Car

By Stephanie Porteus

1958 Plymouth Fury or mysterious Lincoln Mark III? Imagine yourself breathless, running as fast as you can down a dark alleyway being chased by Christine. Or picture yourself running for your life through the arid, sweltering desert, choking on the burning dust with The Car hot on your heels. Out of these automotive Hollywood devils, which would you find more terrifying?

Just in case there’s anyone who hasn’t seen either of these B-movie gems, I won’t give away too much. I’ll just say that both Christine and The Car are formidable automotive monsters–but you can rent the movies this weekend to see for yourself the destruction they wreak. Otherwise, follow the jump to refresh your memory!

Lookout!
