As far as I know all of these cars are real and were produced in a chrome finish for the annual calendar.

The car was chromed for this shot, but it must have been touched up on PS or another program to get such vivid colours :wink:

40 EUR for a calendar? thats PRETTY damn much... but it seems like a good one. :)

And the crazy part were the shipping costs since it's HUGE, but well worth, a collector item!

No, the cars are not real, i already asked...my cousin works at MB canada headquarters and she also asked other people that works there if its real or not, all of them said it was photoshoped...btw i have an extra one if anyone from toronto would like it, reply back on the post...

So you mean all of the cars have just been photoshopped on the calendar? I always thought that those were real cars produced as one-off editions :roll:

I'm pretty sure the official press release that went with it, never talked about PS and seriously, I'd like to know how they could obtain such result..
I still think the cars really have chromed surfaces... and if they really were PShopped, why still no original pics around?

I believe the actual picture is a painting...judging by the plants around it...but otherwise, i'd say they were PS'd

I think it's dangerous to drive a chrome car on the road, because its reflects the sunlight... 8)

That same calender is lying just 1meter from me and it's very very tempting to nick it :?

It belongs to someone who works for the company but he's allways in some foreign country. But if he ever passes, I'm surely going to ask him if he's ever planning on using it. I sure would :D

The pics are superb!!

Nope.. there were just a single website selling them and ran out of stock soon.. the only way to find them back in 2003 was ebay.. and only ebay.de ... I fear it's impossible now

Well obviously nobody would publish a calendar w/o using some PS to make lights and all the rest perfect :D

Aha, so maybe I should steal the one in my office and sell is on ebay for 100 euro :P Naaah, I'll just keep it for myself if I do :D

Seriously, The calender is just lying here, he's not using it and it's a pitty he's only comes here once a month... otherwise I could try and bargain. He probably got it for free since the company also works with Mercedes Benz (they produce the smart forfour), so if I offer him 20 euros or so, I might get it :P Now I just have to wait till I see him :?
