I like how the darker color was brought onto the hood, front fenders and doors.

From what I gathered...
...this is a total "digital" creation - no photoshop, no "real" vehicle. A complete fabrication done digitally. Kind of like this one:

Not surprised. Our own John Rafert has been treating us to his digital creations too.

I was interested enough to investigate digital art. Never really heard of it before. The pictures that are displayed are not digital art. They are photographs - and damned good ones. And the cars that posed are beautiful.
The fellow who took these is David Lewis and he IS a digital artist. However, from his web site, the caption on this pic reads "'55 Chevy 1 - Straight from camera; softbox, bounce and direct light". It's an exercise in photography, not digital art. Here is his website:

In case anyone is interested about the difference between digital art and Photoshop - here it is in a nutshell.
Digital art is made from scratch. A digital artist is just that - an artist. An artist can easily create their visions using pencil, charcoal, paint or whatever - a "digital" artist just choose to use a computer instead.
A digital artist draws every line, makes every color and blends them all into a visual picture or 3-D drawing (or a movie) of something.
Photoshop is manipulation of a photograph using a program that has been pre designed. And while digital art can created by Photoshop, that program was not designed for that purpose.
Every technique that an artist, who works with real material, uses is also used on a computer. The art is real, it is just as difficult to produce as physical painting, it just doesn't have a physical presence . . . but the art can be created with a 3-d printer or a high end printer.
Lest you think anyone could become a digital artist with the right computer program try this . . .
Make a drawing of a horse running. Does it look real? If not, no computer program will be able to help you. That takes talent.

Interesting & I stand corrected...the site I pulled them from said they were digital.

Terence, I only investigated because I was interested, not to prove you wrong. It is easy to be fooled these days with technology advancing so fast. But here's a shocker. Take a look at these pictures. They appear to be photographs, but they are actually drawings/photographs/sculptures made by an artist's hand.

Unbelievable yes?
