1958 Mercury and 1962 Oldsmobile camera cars, from the French camera car specialist, Bernard Château




Born on 23 February 1933, Bernard Château began working in the early 60s for the Loca-Films corporation, where he began by preparing prop cars and camera cars for shootings. Having left the company a few years later, he chose to become the driver of Lumex or Pierre Durin cars.


He had a 1962 Oldsmobile Sky Rocket that had been transformed into a camera car in the 1960s by Pierre Durin for his company Loca Films. It was equipped with Citroën hydraulic suspension, a 3-speed automatic transmission, and a 325-horsepower 8-cylinder V Rocket engine from 1961.
