    I like the symmetry of the 2nd one. Even though, my mind can't process what it is or the perspective of it. The first one is also a good detail kind of shot. The third one's composition doesn't work for me. Good stuff, It's tough photographing cars, that's why I never attempt it. lol

    Its tough to get shots like this of cars lined up next to eachother with people walking around and distractions everywhere. What you did with #2 is really all you can do in these situations. I like the symetry and the way you framed it makes it look mortal with eyes and nose. I think you could have come up a stop on the exposure.

    #1 I feel you need to isolate a section further. #3 is a cool angle and that makes it interesting but also needs to come up on exposure a bit.

    Not bad at all really, with the given circumstances

    Thanks. It was difficult to get some shots without people. The cars are all so impressive that everyone wanted to have a closer look.

    The second one was my favorite of all the ones I took that day. It reminded me of a gas mask.

    @gahspidy - I will try a tighter crop on the first one. I can see what you mean about isolating a section to give it more of a distinct subject.

    1963, the only year the window was split. Once they figured out how to make the window in one piece the split disappeared, which was 1964. I like that image the best of the three. Nice cloud reflection on the right side, would have liked to have seen the steering wheel show up a bit better. Maybe up the contrast.
