Cragar Wheels ripped me off !!!

[DRJDVM's '69]

Well, not really

Check out page 75 in the August 2008 Chevy High Performance..... thats my car in their ad !!!!

That picture was submitted to PHR a couple of years ago for their photo contest and got a 2 page spread in the "winning photos" issue Nov 2006 pages 68-69. I got a call from a friend that though that it was my car in the ad. I thought for sure it must be another red and white striped '69, so I though no way.... then I saw the issue and there is no doubt its my car but they photoshopped Cragar wheels on to it and changed the background to a street scene. We pulled out the PHR issue to be sure and its dead on...same reflections etc etc...

Dont get me wrong.... I'm not mad they used the photo.... I just hope I can get some "swag" out of it...maybe a poster or something of the layout. For the photo contest submit, I never signed any release, but I assume it was implied when we sent them in that PHR could do whatever they wanted with them. I just had no idea that PHR could sell or give them to companies to use in their ads...thats kinda "sketchy" to me, but oh well.....

Just another magazine spot for the scrapbook Even if its not with my real wheels

Looks like its on their website too and there are 2 versions!!
