season 2 of Perry Mason (HBO Max) has vehicles that are all older than 1950, most seem to be from the 30s. If you want to see nothing but classics in great condition, this show has a lot of them, though maybe not the utterly wide variety that existed back then



it's a very amazing tv show, I recommend it for it's incredible drama, suspense, legal tactics, private investigations, complex story and great story and plot. 

I rank it right up there with SOA, Breaking Bad, Penny Dreadful, Game Of Thrones, Foundation, etc. We are in a marvelous time of incredible tv shows, it's a shame it takes so damn long between "seasons" and that there are only 8 to 10 episodes for these new series. But they make up in quality, what they are short on length of

There may only be the most popular, and nothing of the early brass era, but Hollywood must find it very difficult to get this many period correct vehicle for a tv series

    1. I see I forgot to finish that sentence to it's obvious conclusion - Hollywood must find it difficult to rent that many period correct, unaltered, original looking vehicles that they can use for an extended amount of time, where the owners of the vehicles have to sign a waiver of damage, and aren't allowed to nag about how the vehicles are used, maintained, abused, or treated by a bunch of Hollywood extras with a SAG card.
      I have talked to a couple guys who rent their cars to Hollywood productions, and the results vary, but the goal of most owners is to see their car on screen, increasing the investment value for the inevitable flipping at auction ability to claim it's a screen used vehicle on some movie or show.
      They aren't carefully used, some are abused rather bad in chase scenes, and the production company is clear about the paperwork absolving them of any reimbursement for damages to engine, trans, tires, brakes, paint, and body. No cleaning, no detailing, no ding repairs, and certainly no rebuilds of stripped clutches because someone in the cast had no idea how to drive a stick shift, or wanted to rip donuts with some muscle car
