Default Corvette and Biplane Pic's

An earlier thread got me thinking about having a carshow plaque made up. My neighbor owns this biplane and I thought it might make a good back drop. Now I need help choosing the best one.....anyone??? Thanks WB

My choice would be the very last bottom one, it shows off the car without the plane being too imposing.

I feel the same way as far as the last but only if your into biplanes. I dont see the connection. Now if it was an F-16 or something like that yeah!

Thanks, Indy99 and Jughead
Little Jake, the only thing in common is they are both things from the past and the similarity in color

Vettes and biplanes, two of my favorites. The two yellows kind of clash, though. Maybe some pics when the sun is higher in the sky would help. Of the ones you posted, I like the 4th one best.

C3dreamer ,War bonnet yellow or Steel Cities gray were the only two colors I was looking for

Fotyfobravo You have to get a small camera and keep it with the car, I was at a train station once and a steam engine pulled up ...me with no camera, would have mad a great shot In Sept. I'm registered at a local Vintage Airplane and Car Show, trust me I will be prepared!

C3 RV, Thanks for the advise, I'll try to get some earlier in the day tomorrow WB
