Classic Cars, Panning and HDR

The annual Rock’n August festival was held here in St. Albert on the weekend. It centers around a classic car show ‘n’ shine along with a cruise. We went down to where they start off so we could see them all passing by before they picked up too much speed. I decided to slow my shutter speed down and try getting some panning practice in. Apparently I need it. Out of over 300 shots I think I saved about a dozen. Even the best of them still had focus issues. So I decided to play around with them a bit and do some HDR processing. In the end, I went a little overboard as far as reality goes, but I think it suited the shots fairly well. I also converted them all to black and white except for the actual car which I left the colour on. These are the actual colours of the cars, I did not change them at all other than how the HDR processing affected them. Anyway I hope you enjoy, and if anyone can identify the make and model of them please let me know in a comment!
