There's at least a handful of those photos that have the Mike DeTorrice ...
... "Master of Light" signature on them! His incredibly beautiful photographic style is instantly recognizable.

LOL, yep, Steve, it seems some of those are mine, although I don't recall really giving any OK or get any request to use them. (and a request would normally be a nice thing to do !)
Oh well, maybe I can hope for a compliment in that someone will complain to the seller and say, "HEY, how come you've also got these pix of real Rivieras included in your ad for a 'Lowrider Toy '64 Riv', huh ?"

Well the seller should give credit to you! Those are some great pics!!

Thanks ! Yeah, it's the proper thing to at least give a nod to the photographer. (and perhaps ask if it's OK to use the image)
You know, I don't think my snaps are very good examples of photos ideal to show off a replica car for sale. Instead, nice, bright, focused and evenly-lit shots showing the car from several angles are probably much better for that than moody, low-key, fancy-schmancy stuff. Heck, one of my snaps shows less than half the car. (and the buyer may complain the headlights don't work on their model when they receive it !)

Lol..the non-working headlights might become an issue for the buyer...that, IMO, would be 'payback' for the seller not giving you pic credit!
