Nice high contrast take on this - the lighting is outstanding and the image really delivers - good work

Americanus automobilius - Endangered
by VitaminB

Comment:
a novel approach to this challenge - it meets the criteria well IMO, even without showing a car. I do think that the theme is a bit heavyhanded. As an advert, I think 'Buy American' and giving a positive spin about freedom etc might not seem so bleak and might do a better job of making people want to buy American.

i love the simplicity of this entry - it has the understated elegance of the top of the line car makers

1957 Chevy Bel Air

Love the effort to create that classic 1950s advert style. the rich glossy finish, the high intensity lighting - very nice job

FORD

i love the look of these cars - nice capture to get one going - too bad the passenger's hair is getting thrown around so - it seems to distract more than aid to the ad. good photo overall

i am not fond of the font choice - it seems a bit heavy and overwhelms the car a bit

Holden V8 Commodore ss

a very punny entry. the image itself has all that you want - sharp, intense colors, interesting location. the slogan has a great appeal to those that like word games. i am just not fond of the choice of font - it seems too busy, especially with all the fonts and colors. I think a simpler font design would have looked a bit more polished

Mercury's Ride

Comment:
a sweet ride - i love the guy behind the wheel - has he been in the car since it was made?

the image itself has a bit of that 1950's early 1960's advert look - placing the car in a familiar spot with people in the car

a nice job overall

love this quirky capture - that longing for something beyond or unrealistic or unneeded

BMW - You'll Know When You Get There
by k9logic

Comment:
a great slogan, lovely warm and rich set of tones throughout

i just wonder about the reflection on the paint on the doors - it seems to distract a bit - maybe you should have gotten it a bit dirtier...;-)

Special Times call for Chevy

Comment:
i really like the shiny and high contrast treatment here - very glossy and dramatic - the couple in the upper right is a nice touch

i wonder if white text at the bottom instead of the black text on the bumper would have even worked better...
