You can try something like this:
class SearchForm(forms.ModelForm):
year = forms.ChoiceField()
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(SearchForm, self) .__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['year'].choices = \
set([(obj.year, obj.year) for obj in \
Vehicle.objects.all().order_by('-year')])
class Meta:
model = Vehicle
