The Picture Car Company
About Us
How It Started
In 1999 David Tinsley was driving his black 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible when a man stopped him at a gas station and asked if hed like to have his GTO in a music video. He agreed and was bought on as part of the team to film the Brooks and Dunn video 'Missing You' and he was hooked. David and his wife Diana have worked hard and built the most well known and respected business for quality picture cars in Tennessee. Before his retirement David and Diana had over 240, vehicles including an extremely rare 1960 Buick LeSabre!
Continuing a Legacy
Kevin's passion for vehicles and machines started at a young age which led him to begin his professional automotive career in 2001. Kevin is an ASE Certified Master Technician serving the automotive repair industry for 25+ years while Katelyn is ASE certified in general maintenance and repair comes with 13+ years of experience. Kevin and Katelyn met in 2012 and quickly found they both enjoyed attending swap meets, car shows, and cruise-ins. They've owned quite a few cars in their time together, from a 1957 Chevrolet Belair to a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass. After his career in the automotive industry Kevin needed a change of scenery. A chance conversation with the Tinsley's led to a dream becoming a reality. In 2022 The Picture Car Company was born to continue the legacy the Tinsley's started 24 years ago! The team they built today holds over 80 years of combined automotive knowledge.
