I was watching American Movie Classics one time, and to fill in a couple
minutes they had a little clip on where movie studios get some of their
military vehicles. This guy was walking down a row of WW2 jeeps on one side
of him, and a row of HMMWV and M37 etc. on the other side. CCKW and others
in background. Not sure if this was a studio owner or private owner they
visited, but at least 50 military vehicles in the view. All looked restored
in good shape. They did not have the program listed in the TV guide.

Its either on the "list" of privately owned vehicles that
Hollyweard has or stashed in the movie company holding lot
The movie companies use a broker list of vehicles for rent
to do their films.. IE the 57 Chevy Station wagon driven
by Cheir in whatever movie that was was owner by an old
friend of mine.. These brokers maintain a list of older
cars airplanes ect that get rented to movie companies when
they are in the area to do a period film..
Otherwise they own the car and it sits in their holding area.
Example the same 55 Chevy from the cult classic Two Lane Blacktop
was the same car driven by Harrison Ford in American Graffiti.
