Old Background, Before & After
I took a pic of my 94, years ago, in front of an old Coca-Cola sign, close to my house. The sign has been freshened-up with new color and my Vette has been updated, as well. So I couldn't resist recreating that shot.

Excellent!!!
What a great Before / After comparison. A job well done!
I myself have never found a cool "Old time" Billboard like this to utilize as a background, so, a little Photoshop skills helped cure that. While walking in to HockenheimRing Germany, I saw a huge Coke Billboard and took a high resolution photo and layered that behind an earlier photo taken of my 2000 FRC in the parking lot The end result came out pretty good because I used a texturizer to make the background a "brick" look, so it looks like my Vette is parked in front of a building with a Coke design.
Good job above. Highly suggest making tat photo an cool 18" x 24" (or larger) Garage print. It looks THAT GOOD!!!

Post up the Coke pic you made. I would like to see it.
They are 2007 C6 5-spokes, (Silver painted), 18" fronts & 19" in the back.
Thank you, all, for the praise.

Remember, my FRC was photographed in a grassy "parking lot" with wooden fences behind it.
The Coca-Cola image was a Billboard as you walk into HockenheimRing (notice the German language on the Billboard, not English).
The Coca-Cola image was given a "Brick" layer to appear as if it were a building.
Color Adjust, Text, Framing.
