This is my latest painting. It's a Packard that's sitting up at a garage in my town.thanks.

You are really progressing nicely. Compare this to the first one and you'll see what I mean. If I may suggest...

Keep you background really fuzzy with minimal details. Grey out the background colors. Sharpen up the contrast on the car especially on the front surfaces. Save the highlights for the front details as well. All of this will center the attention on the car itself. It might help you to look at landscape paintings to see how distant trees and foliage are best done (fuzzy shapes and not individual branches and leaves). I too paint but strictly portraits in oil. Keep it up :D
