One of the things I've always struggled with is how at car shows we always display the cars with the hoods and trunk lids open - so all the photos I've taken of great cars at car shows are with the hoods open - which ruins the lines of the car. Case, in point, the photo of this sweet Judge rendition of the wagon, would be SO much cooler if the hood was closed.

Good stuff Gentleman.

I wonder if this is the same car (with hood etc closed) prior to "The Judge" treatment? Probably not, color, wheels, grills, etc appear to be different...personally I like them both.

I'll agree with you in regards to photographing the car. Looks better down but I do like to take a gander under the hood when it comes to just being at the show and looking at the cars.

BTW, I mis-spoke when I said my friend built a copy of the car in the ad that Alvin posted...The car in the ad is actually HIS car. He created the entire image of the ad from a GTO ad...lol. I guess it's gotten picked up and is all over the web now.
