    Old Pontiac

    I saw this in a used car lot. It would have been better if it were in the middle of a field, but you take what you get.

    1. The white car to the left is my BMW.

    I wonder how long it has been sitting in the lot? It definitely looks like it needs a bit of TLC. Just pop a model on that car and you'll have an instant photographic set!

    Your approach on the second and third shots work well as it allows you to isolate the car from the rather mundane background you have shown us in the first shot. Detail / closeup shots of cars do work very well, as you have shown here.

    Nice. I see some Streamline Moderne styling on it. Made in the days when a Pontiac was indeed a Pontiac, not a GM ...

    #3 is the best, IMHO, because there is no competing and irrelevant background. I suspect that with enough work, you could take care of this problem in the top right corner of #2. #1, however, is a problem in this respect, and fixing it would require more processing skill than I have, I suspect.

    Were you thinking about trading in your Beemer on the Pontiac

    No way. The car isn't very practical but it is a lot of fun. I can't take it fishing because of the low clearance, not good for long drives because of the stiff suspension, but it is a fun car to drive. I had a 1992 M3 back in the 90's that would leave Porsches in the dust. They do make a fun car.
