Even though I'm not a big fan of the classics, I do appreciate your presentation. The overall shots help to define the close up shots of the details, which may have no meaning without knowing what your looking at. That beautifully engraved door handle by itself...... eh. But as you presented, is impressive, as are the headlights and the interior/ dash board.
And by the way, I have great appreciation of all the work that went into the restoration of that car. And all the work you put into taking, processing, and posting your photos.

The one biggest thing I have learned taking photos of cars at shows is,,,,, patience. There is always going to be others looking at what you want to photograph. Ya just have to wait.
Getting to a small local show an hour or two early helps in looking at the sun and planning when and where to shoot.

As our journalist friend pointed out above, it's also nice to try to get the flavor of the surroundings occasionally. If this can be in-camera, so much the better, but since it's my photo, I believe that it is my prerogative if I choose to "improve" it by making changes.
Everyone likes what they like, and I never expect to please everyone with what I like. Here are two versions of a '54 Corvette and its owner...for the human interest.

I like the whole car myself. I enjoy car shows, and taking pictures of the whole car. I also enjoy editing ALL my photo's and isolating the car from it's surroundings is a great way to practice editing skills, and you get to enjoy the car and it's default surroundings as well as the isolated car with the surroundings your NON AI imagination chooses.
Here are a couple of mine, I have a ton of them similarly done. It's a great way to learn and practice editing skills.

As an automotive journalist, close ups for me are mainly for published articles. For social media I prefer the full size image
20 megapixel images are more than adequate and often I print to 100cm wide high quality prints...
I hear some say they believe it is best to shoot with the absence of people... I go out of my way to get them in the shot for street style images. There is always a story to tell for that particular day or event...

An excellent set 🏆🏆🏆

I very much enjoy photographs of Classic and Custom vehicles. However, closely cropped photos of hood ornaments, grills and tail lights leave me empty. I know that some consider such images to be "artistic" but I like to see the entire vehicle. Am I alone in this regard?
Without the parts, you cannot have the whole.

I like it when someone shows the entire car, than adds some closeups of hood ornaments, or other features that may be unique to that particular model.

If you are "assembling" a vehicle that, of course, would be true. If you're "photographing" a vehicle you can do so without individual images of the parts.
However, enjoy whatever you enjoy and we can all do the same.

Very obviously a true statement. Are you Margaret Wolfe Hungerford?

My preference is the 2nd one as it eliminates the folding chair in the foreground and the onlooker in the background.

Close ups are cool always better than another photo of car view
Full images are "cooler".
