Re: Magazine cars, a few questions and opinions.....
I understand your question BUT i't hard to say what do you mean by "most". I would say "most" magazines now are trying to get a balance of different ends of the spectrum to feature. Rod & Custom did a full feature on my car, Big Olds, and in that same issue was full features on the other 5 Ego-Rama participants. The most expensive build was probably my Dad's '56 and the least expensive build was for sure mine (I won the budget build portion of the "contest) BUT for the average person reading the magazine you really can't tell much of a difference in the two. (and the difference is into six figures) My car had alot of donated parts and labor, both from before I purchased the project and afterwards, so my car really looks more expensive then it really is....or was I should say cuz I just got a new interior which I think puts me over that "budget build" catagory. ;D
I really enjoy looking at them all (except the dreaded "rat rods"). Whether it be a high dollar build or a low budget one, I can alwasy fine something interesting on each one to learn from or appreciate.
In a nutshell, photos in magazines really make the cars look much better then they are in person. I was sweating a bunch of details on my car during the photo shoot and the photographer said not to worry about them, they won't show or if they do he'll take care of them.
