Looks pretty realistic until you notice the driveway on the front-end shots 
.Is the whole set up a model, driveway, bushes, trees, and the black and brown cows across in the pasture?

Wow, at first glance you had me fooled.
Very nice.
What models did you use?

They are pretty realistic aren't they? LOL!
The grey and yellow are UT/Autoart models. Just recently acquired the aztec gold, which is an Ertl model, which was a run of 835 models. I'm really impressed with the UT models quality. Just watched a silver one like mine go for $255 on ebay. Crazy!

It's been on here before, but Michael Paul Smith does models of older cars in combination with dioramas and real backgrounds. They are very convincing:

The detail on the MY car is amazing. The silver car is just as detailed, other than it has those dang wagon wheels. Will probably work on that. It was funny, you don't see the imperfections in the hood of the aztec gold car just looking at it, but sure showed up in the picture!
