Any other pertinent information

Entries must be submitted by November 15th, 2009.

Those of you who've had issues with obtaining a C&G calendar in the past..... I'm running this now, so it will be much more efficient.

I look forward to seeing your submissions!

Regards,

I think i might shoot some of the cadillac but it will have to wait till this weekend. Oh wait, it wont be around. Maybe I will shoot my car from its best angle.

I will get shots of the M5 that are better than what I have...it is not GM though...is that o.k.?

Otherwise, a shot or two of the Slade will have to be taken.

Obviously prefer GM, but we'll take everything we can get. If we get more than required for the Calendar, we'll have a contest as to which pics get included.

You still have plenty of time to get the pics in, I was just surprised by the initial lack of response. Feel free to submit as many pics as you want.

If I get the chance, I'll maybe submit some beauty shots of the Cutty. I'd like to wait until the leaves change over, though. I think fall colors will really make the red pop if I do it right.

Well I definitely want to submit the '96 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, but it won't be ready for pictures for a couple of weeks (I will be spending some time with it towards the end of October giving it TLC). I will also submit the G6, likely soon, and if it gets passed over so be it.

I don't consider anything recent in my driveway worthy of a calendar shot (sorry guys!), and the B-59 is still an empty shell on it's frame... but maybe I can swing an 'artsy' shot of the 2500HD at a worksite that would be possible.

Well the Prizm was sold by GM but you know, that whole Toyota thing. Plus it isn't really calender worthy, so I guess its fitting that I submit a Mopar.

I need to download the pics I took of my Saab when I was hangin' with Dodgefan! If they suck, can I use one of those, Andrew? :P

I will need to take new pics. I know, I don't take enough. :P

It has center caps now and thus completes the exterior.

Taken right, even pics of cars in less than prime condition can be quite nice!

Since everybody is being a P$ssy, I will post mine first. :P Does not matter if it gets thrashed out. :)

2000 Dodge Intrepid SE

Purchased November 21, 2006

My Intrepid started life with 173k miles, being purachsed bone stock at an auction. It is my first car (that I purchased and insured). It's been across the country and on plenty of adventures. Today it has a 3.5 HO Engine, 300M Dark Slate leather interior, Mille Miglia Uno 18"x7.5" wheels, OTIC, chrome shifter, and plenty more to come. It is my baby, and that I plan to keep it forever.

I had the same colour Lumina with the same hubcaps. Do you have a front bench seat and a 3.1 as well?

1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

Purchased September 23rd, 2008

This '72 Cutlass Supreme ended up in my driveway with just a few ticks over 90,500 original miles on the clock. This is the first classic car I have ever sat behind the wheel of. Since the car wound up in the fleet, it has been repainted from a tired shade of pearl white to a custom shade of Oldsmobile Matador Red. The Rocket 350 V8 and TH-350R transmission are original to the car. Although at the moment it is in a mostly presentable state, it is far from finished with more and better upgrades to come.

(Not really happy with the shot. I wanted to take a picture of it near Indian Fort Theatre, but I haven't had the chance. I could find a way to add a before picture to cover up the Firebird's carcass. If I don't resubmit, consider this to be my entry to be reviewed.)

Edited by whiteknight

Well shoot (no pun intended), I just saw this. My '04 Colorado was featured one year, so, not sure if the Cobalt would be considered for this new version. Glad to see you carrying this tradition on, Drew. Perhaps a reminder note in The Lounge to call more attention to the project?

Hmm...I may actually be able to submit something...don't know why I never considered it before.

This isn't a submission, but a possibility, and a sample of what I could provide...

I just e-mailed some pictures of both the '96 Cadillac FWB and the '08 Pontiac G6 to the e-mail address listed on the first page. I sent a couple in case one or the other won't work out per the layout you desire. Please let me know if they don't open. Thanks!!

I'll get some of the Olds, but it'll be close. Can't do it till Saturday so I have sunlight. Have to borrow a decent camera. Mine sucks. LOL

i'll see if i can get my 69 impala and my dads 68 nova ss together this weekend weather permitting

I'm going to extend the deadline a bit anyway.

I have a very excited 17 year old boy. I think he's gonna make his girl shine like a diamond in a goats ass. LOL

For your viewing pleasure, I've submitted the following pictures:

I went back and dialed back some of the contrast on the hood to show more details. I "think" this is the one I want for the calendar.
