They don't sell the wood carvings its just an online program that shows what it would look like as a carving. I looked online to see if I could get a real plaque to hang but no luck yet. I thought it would look good at the end of the driveway at my lake house.

Those look really good. If you do find a place to do the carvings, please post it up.

I don't think that is a carving.. it looks 2 dimensional to me. that guys hand in the photo is using an artists pen and not a wood carving tool.
You can always get a nice piece of wood. or a slice of a tree, and have it clear coated, then bring it to an air brush artists.

My dad works at place that does laser engraving/burning on wood from photos. It can do some really detailed stuff... check out their website and facebook for some samples....
I think they call the laser photo thing "Lexington Laser."
He's made us some cool Christmas ornaments over the years..

Got a sample of the laser engraving from my dad! He did it two ways -- with a light and a heavy laser burn. the lighter looks more like a photo, but has less detail. it's physically smoother -- not burned as deep. i like the deeper one better -- more detail. It's a pretty detailed photo to begin with -- this could probably look really nice if you had a good close-up of the car....

If you are looking for a real three dimensional carving, I would suggest you attend art and craft shows this summer. There's bound to be woodcarvers with booths, displays, etc set up I would think..
Depending on where you live (you don't say) there may be plenty of crafts people who can hand carve anything you're willing to pay for.
