Your NEW VW BEETLE in a MOVIE for $$$$Reply to: sale-924351897@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-11-18, 1:26PM CST

We are shooting a small scene for a Universal Pictures film and need a new era VW Beetle for one day of rental. We are looking for a light blue, hard top VW Beetle. Will pay $500 for rental and will provide a rental car if necessary. Our insurance will completely cover your car. If your car is a different color we'll still consider it, if it's light yellow, or light green. No convertibles, no dark colors.

Please email your interest and if you can send a picture(s). We expect to shoot this in January or February.

Thanks.

I just sent off an email. We'll see if they want blue or green

I got an email daemon notice. Either they are bogus or it's too late

Ellen,

Green is out...... Bummer.

PM me and I'll give you the guy's direct e-mail address. Maybe you'll have better luck. BTW, it's a Vince Vaughn movie....

Cool! I'm glad that this might happen!

By the way, Vince Vaughn is a Chi~town local. He grew up in one of the near north 'burbs. (Evanston? Highland Park? Lake Forest? etc. ...someplace along the north shore.)

Keep us updated if your bug makes it on the movie set Ellen!
