Photos are from 2014 Concours d'Elegance in Pinehurst, NC. PP was done in Lightroom, Topaz Glow and Photoshop Elements. I've included the pre-Topaz Glow photo for your reference.
I'm interested in comments... do you like it? Too much PP? Should I spend my time on other hobbies?

Well did you get the effect you were loo9king for? If so it's fine. but for me (personal opinion) it's to much.
Nice effect no the less

Any picture taken is not for others, unless one is getting paid for a specific effect or shot. If you like it then all is good with the world. I am only saying for "me" its too much. But the picture is very nice.

Too much PP for me. IMHO it destroys the inherent beauty of the car.

It comes from your heart BUT if I were you, I hear paint by numbers is a lot of fun. Now Now Now..watch the temper..it's hump day right? I think I'm a little over the hump too

Ow - now that was just mean.
To OP - as a car lover I'd have to agree that I prefer the original so I can appreciate what past hands have wrought.

Wow... an overwhelming "thumbs-down" on my experiment! No problem, that is exactly why I posted it... to see if anyone liked it. It is definitely a different effect and I was on-the-fence about it.
I went to this event last summer and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the cars. The event was on one of the fairways at Pinehurst Golf Club. and there was everything from early 1900's through to the newest Porsche cars. And, of course, most were in pristine condition.
This particular car was the Best In Show winner of the 2014 event. I've attached another photo of it...

I like them both. I found the PP image to be quite imaginative and interesting, especially when downloaded.

I can see why you tried the experiment and I like it but be trying with other looks with this. I would like to try so if you don't mind. :thumbup:
