Thank you. I'm saving some "artsy" ones I took that day for future comps, until I get too impatient and post them here anyway.

Gorgeous car and fantastic lighting!

I'd like to see a similar shot (same car, same light, same angle) but with a different backdrop. I'm thinking outside a casino or a swish hotel with marble columns or some such. The Packard oozes glamour and deserves a Hollywood-esque scene setting.

Just a thought...
