1965 Chrysler Newport Wagon Rental Added in Florida

Movie Picture Cars has added the 1965 Chrysler Newport Wagon to its Florida picture car rental selections through the USA Movie Cars network. The vehicle sits in Summerfield, Florida, and carries the nickname The Blue Whale. Its custom blue paint with ghost flames and the 1965 Hanson surfboard mounted on top give it a clear surf-era look that stands out for productions needing 1960s Florida texture.

Spotlight on this 1965 Chrysler Newport Wagon

The car shows a four-door wagon body finished in blue with charcoal interior. Ghost flames appear across the custom paint, adding subtle detail that catches light during camera moves. A period-correct 1965 Hanson surfboard rides on the roof, turning the station wagon into a ready surfer vehicle without extra set dressing. Crews working in central Florida can reach the Summerfield location quickly when they need a rolling background piece or a character car that reads as coastal.

The wagon keeps its original body lines and four-door layout, which helps it blend into street scenes from the mid-1960s. Producers can park it in front of beach houses, motel courts, or roadside diners and let the surfboard do the rest of the storytelling. The charcoal interior remains simple and period-appropriate, so it photographs cleanly from multiple angles without modern distractions.

Movie Picture Cars and the Florida Picture Car Market

Movie Picture Cars works as the local Florida arm of the USA Movie Cars network. When a production needs vehicles in Summerfield or nearby counties, the network routes requests through state-specific sites such as Florida Picture Cars. This setup lets location managers and picture car coordinators search for Florida film cars without calling out-of-state owners first. USA Movie Cars maintains similar partnerships in other states so crews can find local picture vehicles wherever the script lands.

Summerfield sits between Ocala and Orlando, giving productions working in central Florida a convenient source for period wagons. The 1965 Chrysler Newport Wagon adds a surf-specific option that many Florida picture car rental inventories lack. Coordinators can pair it with other era vehicles from the same network when a shoot requires multiple 1960s cars in one day.

History of the 1965 Chrysler Newport Wagon

Chrysler offered the Newport line as an entry-level full-size model in 1965. The station wagon body style appealed to families who wanted cargo space and comfortable seating for long drives. Many owners added roof racks for vacation gear, and the surf culture that grew along both coasts turned similar wagons into rolling carriers for boards and beach equipment. The Newport name carried through several model years, but the 1965 version sits squarely in the classic 1960s design language that productions often seek for period accuracy.

Station wagons from this era featured long hoods, squared-off rear quarters, and generous glass areas that let light reach the interior during filming. The four-door layout made it easy for actors to enter and exit on camera. While many Newport wagons stayed stock, some received custom paint treatments that reflected the era’s interest in subtle graphics and personal expression. The Blue Whale name and ghost-flame treatment on this example follow that same custom tradition.

Florida Picture Car Rental Uses

Productions can place the wagon in any scene that needs a 1960s Florida backdrop. The surfboard on top supports beach, coastal highway, or motel parking-lot shots without added props. Background texture comes from the blue paint and flame detail, which read well in wide establishing shots or tighter character moments. Commercial directors have used similar wagons to sell period clothing lines, surf-related products, or Florida tourism spots.

Still photographers can use the vehicle for fashion spreads or product shoots that want an authentic mid-century feel. Music video crews can park it at a beach access point or along a two-lane road and let the surfboard supply instant narrative. Event planners have staged the wagon at corporate functions or private parties that celebrate 1960s themes. Branded content teams can drive it through small Florida towns to create short-form video that feels grounded in local history.
