#### Discover the most commonly seen vehicles throughout the history of film.

Automobiles have been present in film since both were invented. From police car chases to family vacation road trips, cars are in just about every film set in the 20th century.

For sound artists, creating the sounds of these cars is crucial for keeping the audience immersed in the story of the film. Aside from being a distraction, cutting sound effects for vehicles without the proper sonic ingredients can be a huge waste of time in the editorial process.
