Help finding 1930s/1940s car models

computersandmore

Hey there guys. I'm working on some Film Noir stuff and I cannot seem to find many decent cars from the 30s or 40s. If I were looking for 50s-70s there's TONS of free meshes available online but the very few I seem to be able to find from the era I am looking for are all convertibles and I don't want to have to animate the people inside the car while it is moving. I'm looking for stuff like classic Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc... sedans.

Anybody got a lead? Thanks.

Go to Rendo and look through Transportation. NOT counting convertibles, of which there are a plethora, sevein has a nifty 1930's ford. ADH3D has a 40's Ford sedan, a Fordor 3 in 1 as well as a few others from that period and before., like a 1918 Page 6. Nationale has 1929 Lincoln L Town car, three different 1937 Chevys (Delivery, Sedan and Coupe), a 1940 Ford coupe, and a whole raft of Model Ts, which were still quite common on the roads in the 30s and 40s.

Check out Nationale7 at rendo, he has a few.
Also a few free ones here in various file formats that can be converted. http://www.dmi-3d.net/

Old one but if you have PC, you can get it for almost nothing.

Speaking of the PC there was a 1930s series during the PC Anniversary a couple of years back so there were at least a few trucks and add-ons that came out for it.

They're a long way from freebies, but I am pretty sure that Dreamland Models over on Rendo has some cars in the right time period. Work vehicles, too.
