Sitting on the trunk? Must be real enthusiasts.
Yikes! I hope there wasn't a tool box on the other side of that buttock!
I wonder if that was one of ExecMalibu's coupes?

unveliebable, careless and fool
there is not a bit of common sense in that picture
what the xxxx are they doing there ?
probably it would have been a much more spectacular picture them laying on the roof while the car is slowly floating (drowning) on a lake
or them laughing wile the car is behind set on flames...
commercial photographers, probably the sort of people that had lose something...!

but the value of the car may only be
a small fraction of the advertising budget. So, for them it's an expense. Like making a movie but cheaper.

Yea, repairing the resulting dings and scratches would be a small fraction of the ad budget.
However, if it was my coupe that the ad agency rented, I would be pretty angry regardless of $$ compensation.
There are a number of companies here in Southern California who broker advertising and film usage of classic cars. I have registered my cars with one of them, have had one of my cars assessed, but have never been selected. Even if I were offered a shoot, I would have reservations about accepting.
I guess it shouldn't be surprising that the ad directors, photographers, and models don't have a clue how to properly treat a vintage car.
Except that is his coupe! Now if it were Katy Perry like on Carl's 1600 cab.....
I've had 3 movies filmed inside our house and can say with certainty that this is true, it's just a prop for them and they will come and go and leave a wake of debris if you don't have an understanding of how they plan to use and reimburse accordingly, they don't value your property like you do.
movie cars
One of my friends had his car used in a movie (driven by David Morse) a few years back.
He presented a clear set of rules for what could and couldn't be done with the car. The director was very supportive and said the specific car was important enough that he'd be happy to honor the owner's wishes.
Plus, said friend got himself invited to the set on the days the car would be used.
Movie turned out well, car emerged unscathed. owner got to meet some famous people, director came to thank the club for helping him find the right car and we got a pre-screen of the piece. So, there are good ones and bad ones out there.

None of mine are good enough for any role other than the one where the car blows up or drives into the bay.
