Yep, another wallpaper. Hope this doesn’t turn into the Wallpaper blog again like it did a while back. Hehe. I put together a little homage to Oldsmobile’s history. Lots of Cutlasses and only one Toronado! Click the picture for the hi-res version.

That one I made on my computer using a photo editing program. I just searched for pictures of each of those cars on Google and found pictures I liked. Some of the pictures of older cars, like the second and third from the right on the top row, were actually recent pictures of old cars. Here’s links to the original pictures I found on google.

To make them look old I just removed the color and added some filters to make them look like old aged photos. Then I just took all the pictures and put them together to make the wallpaper and added the text. Viola! Wallpaper!
It wasn’t without inspiration though. I got the idea after watching this Cadillac commercial.
