because he also did not give any credits to the photog.

I posted this here because it caused me to laugh on an otherwise shitty day.

of mine that was originally in the Sept. 1982 issue of Road & Track and won the Best Sports Stories contest was first copied by some artist who made a rendering of it and it was sold in poster shops in the '80s. My original contract with R&T gave them all rights, so I let them know that the copyright was being violated and then R&T said they only bought one-time rights and it was my problem (CBS owned R&T at the time so they had the dough to pursue the infringement) and they gave me my original slides back, which was fine with me of course, but I didn't have the money to pursue it myself. Now this poster is also another one of my shots, a reject shot that I sold to John Willhoit of Willhoit Graphics for 500 bucks, which was better than it sitting in a drawer all these years. John sold a lot of posters, and I guess sold the rights to his poster to Autotrend Graphics who advertise it as the award-winning shot. It's not, and I rejected it because of certain flaws and I was right as the shot I selected was

The shot I selected was published in R&T as you can see it from the tearsheet here (frankly I always preferred the Eddie Cheever Talbot one myself), and the reject poster shot would probably not have been published to win an award. Photographers work very hard for those little credit lines. The Avanti Ferrari poster had my credit on it originally, but I don't know if it still does.

boxes in the garage. I just gotta find the transparencies and scan them. That is one major job. I was lucky to be an '02 freak when '02s were current. Too bad I never sold a shot of an '02, but then Formula 1 was what got published.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
