Love of old cars turns
into movie business
VIDEO BY DARRELL EVERIDGE

Conyers resident Tim Thompson worked in IT for
the Southern Company for 35 years. On the day he
was told that he was to take early retirement due to
cutbacks, he received a call from a movie studio
looking to use an old car of his. It was the start of
Atlanta Picture Cars and it’s a business that’s taken
off. Thompson owns 26 antique cars, but has access
to over 600 cars, including 75 from Rockdale County.
Thompson also serves as a broker, renting the vehicles
to production companies on request.
