Auto Show Flyer Fun

For the semi-annual car show, we've used a design I made several years ago - at least three or four years ago. Yeah, it's old and so I was hoping I could refresh it. After I created a mark for the event, I got to looking around - found some great wallpaper images of classic vehicles, clipped them out of their backgrounds, added shadows and reflections and ambient color, a background, some filters, and voila! new flyer design. Of course, it took a long time to get everything the way it needed to be since the vehicles were all different sizes and such, but I have to say that I think the new version is a big improvement over the last. Here's the new version:   Here three of the main resource images:  This is the original inspiration for the change of the layout:  Here's the old version: I know - clunky design, right? Loved the picture though.
