1=Not old 2=is 3=is 4=not 5=is 6=not 7=is 8=is Most of the real old pic’s have poor resolution and glare in the picture.
The new ones are clear. Also look for clear coat on the cars as a tell tale. Also the cloths the people are wearing.
All but number 7 were all taken at the same car show less than 3 weeks ago lol
