Default Photo-shoot casting call
I'm looking for show condition, stock appearing cars in these categories. This is for a major automotive magazine, and I need photo shoots done by the end of the year.

1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird
1954-1961 Corvette
1946-1980 Volkswagen Beetle

Yes, I know these aren't LS1 cars, but hopefully some of you around the Houston area know people that might own one or more.

Thanks

I need them to be stock appearing, no customs. Only thing that might be custom is the color perhaps. Get those pics for me, much appreciated.

are you looking for just one or multiple of each car?
I'd ultimately need one example of each group, but would like to have a variety to pick from. Color of the vehicle may be the deciding factor when comparing them.

If you know of something in the west coast...I've got a clean '57 VW beetle stock color/interior and everything.

6 trophies to prove it. ...too bad i'm out here, and you're not.

Just an FYI. Its been a while since I messed with bugs, but I'm pretty sure the last year was '79 for the US.

A quick trip south will get you all sorts of newer models that are stock.

Editor is looking for these specific years, I didn't choose the cars or years. He needs stock looking vehicles.

You need photos to be submitted so that the editor can send a photographer out to shoot, right?

A co-worker has an all original 60 model Vette. It looks very nice, but currently is not in running condition. It's a survivor.

Yeah, I need photos. Not running is fine, as long as the car is complete and can be pushed around.

Thanks, but that would be just as useful to me as a football bat.
