Pics look good. Circle polarizers are definitely good when dealing with reflections. I'd say always keep a UV on it at least, so that you protect your lens. The next thing is to upgrade glass. I did and it was almost like getting a new body. 
As for the light, I think those shots for that time of day looks good. A tripod helps you keep the shutter open longer while keeping your iso down, but everything has its trade offs. Just playing around with different things and you'll keep learning and find your niche.

I think they look pretty good. As mentioned maybe try a tripod but do it later in the day like dusk. The reflections of the softer light show the lines of the car better without blowing out highlights. What camera are you shooting with? Nice car btw.
Nice time of day and a very good lookin' car! Try giving more breathing room around the car. Just stepping back and giving more space and leaving the car offset to the left or right makes a huge difference. I'd stay away from iso100 as well. Iso100 on the Nikon DSLR tends to blow out highlights easily. It would be better to shoot at iso200.
