I did these for a shop up here that buys cars, restores cars, and sells them. They're going to an auction this week and these are some of the cars they're selling. I didn't get much information on the cars or time to shoot the pictures (all shot in front of their old shop) but I used what I could and these are the finished products:

Bear is just to show actual size of the posters.

I'm hoping they really like them and will have me continue to do their cars, if nothing else it's a great way to expand my portfolio and definitely gives me experience, even though I had to stay up til 6am working on these to get them done in time to ship them off to print and get them back before the auction.

just let me know what you all think. I'm still very much an amateur so opinions are welcomed!

The posters look pretty darn good, all seven of them. I'm sure the guys at the shop will be very happy with them. :)
BTW, I get a better idea of size by comparing to the red bricks in the wall. Ceramic Bears come in all size's. ;)

These are awesome. Job well done! Car interiors are hard, especially black ones, but these look like they're well lit and I really like the backgrounds on the posters.

Going by the bricks, I'd guess roughly 20"x30"? ;)

24" x 36" actually, kind of hard to tell since they're leaning back on the wall
