Can't help with the company information, but the company I subcontract for,
International Movie Services, has done several gigs of that type with M35's,
drivers supplied, and passengers riding troop-style in the back. Not sure if
regulations vary from state to state, but up here it's a pain in the ass to
figure
out exactly who's insured for what in case junior takes a header off of the
tailgate
and winds up suing one party or all. The way the company seems to have worked
it out is have the umbrella organization (in your case it would be Picture
Cars)
have 'event insurance' or some sort of legally binding waiver for all
participants
to sign before you haul them in your deuce. Either way, I *think* the
event would
have to be entirely confined to private property (as in the gig I just did
in Whistler,
B.C. with the deuces and humvees), but rules vary from jurisdiction to
jusrisdiction.
I hate the legalese/litigation mindset as much as the next guy (probably
more, actually),
but forewarned is forearmed. Just seems to be the way Joe Citizen appears
to think
nowadays. Litigate your way to fame and fortune.
Andy Hill (we had one drunk take a dive off the tailgate, face plant, then try
to catch a lift on a following humvee looking like a VN
battle
casualty. Sheesh.)
