For over two decades, Ted Moser, the founder and owner of Picture Car Warehouse, has been a pivotal figure in Film Production. Starting his journey as a Transportation Coordinator, Ted recognized a critical gap in the industry: the need for a streamlined and comprehensive picture car service. Productions frequently encountered complex and urgent challenges in sourcing and managing vehicles. Ted’s vision to solve these problems led to the creation of Picture Car Warehouse. He assembled a team of experts – from a knowledgeable rental department to skilled body shop technicians, master upholsterers, talented fabricators, precise graphic designers, and master mechanics – all within a single, state-of-the-art facility. Picture Car Warehouse, headquartered in a sprawling 44,000 sq ft workspace, boasts an extensive and diverse fleet. This impressive collection ranges from authentic police cars and emergency vehicles to robust large trucks, iconic muscle cars, period-correct classics, and even specialized ND cars, alongside numerous custom-built vehicles tailored for unique cinematic needs. Ted Moser designed Picture Car Warehouse to be a one-stop solution, simplifying vehicle logistics and ensuring that securing the perfect picture of car is the easiest and most efficient aspect of any production.
The remarkable success of Picture Car Warehouse is evident in its extensive portfolio, featuring contributions to numerous blockbuster motion pictures, high-profile commercials, and popular television shows. Productions like Rush Hour 3, The Bucket List, Grindhouse, Taxi, The Runaways, The Town, Faster, Vampire Diaries, Sons of Anarchy, Entourage, Allstate commercials, and Chevrolet ads are just a glimpse into their impressive resume.
Notably, “2 Fast 2 Furious,” one of Ted’s early projects, stands out as a landmark picture car film. With a substantial vehicle budget exceeding $7 million, the movie demanded the in-house construction of 188 vehicles. Picture Car Warehouse successfully delivered all vehicles on schedule and within budget, showcasing their exceptional capabilities in handling large-scale, complex projects.
The loyalty of Picture Car Warehouse’s clientele and their repeat business serve as a testament to Ted’s realized vision: a flawless picture car service that consistently meets and exceeds the demanding needs of the film industry, ensuring every picture of car is nothing short of perfect.
