Art & Inspiration Are you ever asked to use your hotrod as a photo prop?

Got asked to have my car in a photo shoot the first week I owned it. Had some trouble uploading them to here so I had to use screen shots.

 

Not the owner but I’m am in a sense the current care taker. One of the Simon and Simon 57’s convertibles. It was painted turquoise for a Midas muffler commercial. Dark blue paint is underneath.

I got $2,000.00 for a Home Depot/Husky Tools internet ad.

 

All the time. My niece asked to use my Sedan for her wedding limo.

Only right that I should do it since I have used her and her sister as props also.

 

I get asked all the time to do weddings and formals etc however it's not licensed for that however I was allowed to use it for my son's wedding many years ago.

 

I got paid very well for this one.


Just shot in the parking lot across from the shop.

 

About 15 years ago I was at a car show and some guy and six girls in Budweiser bathing suits came up to me and asked to use my Deuce roadster for a poster, photo shoot. They took about 20 or so pictures and he gave me his business card. Never heard anything since!

 

26 years ago, I had the reverse happen. A group asked if my 40 something year old wife would consent to be photographed with their cars. I don't recall anyone calling her a "prop", though.
She's an older cutie now. But she still has a lot of that same size/same figure left, to me she does, anyway.......... but without the big Texas hair.
I thought I was a very lucky S.O.B. when I met her and I still haven't changed my mind about that.

The cars were O/T so I cropped.

 

Yes, For some wedding pictures . It was a red neck wedding and the bride was in a camouflage dress. Both were avid hunters too.... see the cake top

A friends cars

 

A-holes...Sorry I'm being Nasty...Do you have the Card and perhaps we can chase those shots down, they may be Making Money for the Shooter on their website...

 

Aside from pictures of the car itself, my friend from law school asked if I could be her wedding limo with my '57. I was happy to oblige.

 

yes, I have a local photographer with me on speed dial. She is an excellent photographer and person with desire to use my ol beater as a prop. The young guy wanted his senior pics with a hotrod... who can say no to that?

 

A lot of nice shots here. Bringing this thread back up for those that may have missed it!

 

Probably the Antique Nationals at Palmdale.
Any guesses at what the front wheels are on this 28 Mercury Torpedo Salon?

 

Low budget movie ad.

 

At a cruise night by a semi famous music store. They put their guitars that are for sale in front of the cars that they feel go with them.

 

Asked to be in a backdrop of period correct cars for a movie shot where the scene was depicting a 50s drive in. Got a free small hamburger and drink and wound up on the cutting room floor.
