One of my engineering management jobs was to review advertising materials for trucks, both print and photos, from an engineering perspective to make sure they were technically accurate and that the claims could be substantiated.

I'm just imagining the conversation around this photo:

Me (making initial contact): Yes, I have a 70 SS appearing vehicle, but you can't open the hood.

Photographer: Ok

Me (when locking down the arrangements): Ok - so I have you down for vehicle 170SS6CYL for this two day period. Remember - don't open the hood.

Photog: Ok

Me (when dropping the car off): Ok - so here's the car you asked for. Remember - it is not representative underhood, so no underhood photos or engine shots.

Photog: Ok

Me (6 months later, looking at brochures in the dealership): Oh SSSHHHHHssssshhhhh………
