I don't have the opportunity to photograph great cars like this in idyllic settings, so I settle for doing what I can in Photoshop. This one is a combination of Generative Fill, traditional copy/paste, clone/healing, and masking. The fence thing in the background is impossible, I didn't even try to get that out. I tried to close the trunk lid, but couldn't get it to work.
Trunk Lid: Copy the photo, then enlarge the canvas, with the straighten tool tilt the image and clone the trunk to the original... contour is a possibility. Size adjustment would be necessary to get the trunk to match. part of the trunk would not be used because it would be below the fenders. My aim is to show a rough try approach that came to my mind. Will it work for this one?

Thanks, Don. What I did was I copied the lid, put it on its own layer with a mask and used Transform and Warp to move it into place. I intended to mask out the part that would be below the fender, but because the lighting is different, the color was just too wrong. I gave up.
Nice work cloning out the open door on the opposite side.

Something that a lot of people forget—what you can (or should) see through the windows.
You did a ton of work. Was it raining while you did this? I also pick daunting tasks and afterward ask myself WHY?

It
was raining while I worked on the photo on the computer if that's what you're asking. I couldn't go outside so why not take on something to fill up the time?
Still, I stopped at fixing the trunk lid because of the "daunting" task of trying to match the color to the rest of the car. I think it can be done, I just had to ask myself if this picture was worth that amount of effort. It's a great-looking car; the picture not so much. If there had been some compelling reason...

I noticed it too, but not until after I posted it. The haloing is typical of making selections and changing color and tonal values and has to be watched carefully. I didn't.
