So what is it now? A DSLR or a 35mm?

Without being too critical, your exposure is not too bad. Just avoid mid day, best before 9 am and after 5 pm. If you do artificial lighting with film use compensation filters or Tungsten film for incadescent.

What pokes my eye, is your framing and the way you bring in the depth of field.

The frog is the best in my opinion, the Chevy would be perfect if it was free standing, but what can we do ...?

its my new DSLR.. Its a canon rebel XSi with a standard kit lens. I like depth of field shots. My old 35mm had a nice low f stop lense..F2.8 where as the XSi's stock lens is F3.5...

The Bel Air was sitting there since its owner was selling some stuff at the golf shop and the mini van was one of the other cars sitting there so it couldnt move .. but I do have some photo shoots of some delorean's coming up and I do have to shoot the celebration car show and the jetway night party the night before for the delorean world magazine. I like doing this kind of stuff.

I wish I didn't have to work saturday nights so I could go out to Old Town in Kissimme and get some shots of the drive ins they have for the pre '70 cars.

I should get a wide angle lens as well for use as well

I know the best times for shooting outdoors are as you have said. I did notice that in my shots. But hey for just some having fun shots they are ok
