Here's something that I've just finished (at least for now). Not sure if it's successful as the 37 Puegeot but I kind of like it. Any comments? Jim

Jim-
I'm quite partial to the first image. Something about the juxtaposition of era from the car to the futuristic surface really works. At first, I thought that you had the car floating slightly, but then noticed that the black tread isn't really visible outside the whitewall of the tire, and came to the conclusion that you placed the car in the right spot after all. Perhaps a subtle highlight on on one edge of the tire would help with that, if it isn't just me, that is.
I notice that in both shots, the shadow seems to vary in sharpness across the rear of the car. Was this like that in the original car shot, or did you create the shadow from scratch? The lighting on the car makes me think that you were using a silk or shooting on a filtered light day, so my guess is that you had to build it.
Thanks for sharing your automotive work. I"m not normally much of a fan of car shots, but appreciate creative images of all kinds.

PS: What is that surface, anyway?
