as usual, in my opinion, is a bit busier that it needs to be, so I did some edits, just to see what it looks like.

As found, a promotional shot I believe:

70 Oldsmobile Ralley 350 HT (1)

Less busy:

70 Oldsmobile Ralley 350 HT (2)

More less  busy:

70 Oldsmobile Ralley 350 HT (3)

As sleek as I can make it:

70 Oldsmobile Ralley 350 HT (4)

It's been my current practice to leave door handles on nearly all edits, unlike past practices. I eliminated them in the 'as sleek....' edit because they no longer fit the image. Also, assume that the missing license plate, needed to make the car legal, is of the flip down variety seen on upper end street rods and customs. 

Your thoughts?

Enjoy!

I was never a fan of this car because of the painted bumpers, which IMHO look cheesy.  However I do like your pic #3.

Yep, I like your last edit (sleekest) the best. Great work!

In any configuration this is a great mid-sized Oldsmobile. Lol, perhaps it would be cool if the license plate was like the James Bond Aston-Martin type that flipped around to different numbers and styles to completely confuse any pursuers ! Silly Smile

Thanks, gentlemen, for your comments. I, too, like the final edit and offer this additional photo in which I've minimized the exhaust pipes to be a bit less visible, making it a tad more sleek. Enjoy!

Very nice work! But I have to go with the original. It was loud and over-the-top as a sixties-era muscle car should be.

@jkuvakas: ......and, it was fast for a small block Oldsmobile. Properly tuned, that 350 could give some big blocks a run.
