These are more screencaps that I added in the comments section of other vehicles. The first 2 screencaps can be found on the 1974 Pontiac Firebird page:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_225942-Pontiac-Firebird-Esprit-1974.html
The 2nd screencap looks like the same one submitted in a previous post for the Cadillac or Datsun:
http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-5748-37377-Done_The_Rockford_Files__TV_Series__1974_1980.html#p37377
The 3rd and 7th screencaps are from a page for the yellow Ford Courier:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_278265-Ford-Courier.html
The 4th screencap is from a 3-star Chrysler 300:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_278261-Chrysler-300-1968.html
The 5th screencap looks like the same one submitted in a previous post for the Mustang (I think vilero said it was too background):
http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-5748-37377-Done_The_Rockford_Files__TV_Series__1974_1980.html#p37377
The 6th screencap is from the Chevrolet Nova page:

As I mentioned in my reply to the images submitted yesterday, now in the old contributions section, this is one of the things I was concerned about when I started doing the show. There are so many cars in this show, especially from parking lot and street scenes. Instead, I have added many as thumbnails in another vehicle's (the most prominent in the frame or the primary action vehicle) page rather than add a page for them. I don't think it's necessary to create new pages for all these background vehicles instead of just commenting on them in the page where they appear as thumbnails.

As I also mentioned in my reply to the images submitted yesterday, I've been pretty picky when it comes to adding background cars, but I still often add 10 to 12 vehicles in an episode. Over 119 episodes, this show could end up with well over 1,200 vehicles.

APS221, as you can easily understand, it's impossible to check all what users submit in each comment of each vehicle, but if the vehicle isn't commented later and the pic is really useful, could have its own page. In this post I only see useful the wagon in 4th and the Dart Swinger in 6th.

From other part I've seen http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_225942-Pontiac-Firebird-Esprit-1974.html and really what also is not really useful is to full the comments of the page with, actually, 105 thumbnails of the same car.

In a TV Series like this 9-12 are enough. Front, rear, side, hawk-eyed view, maybe pictures from a chase, maybe some pic in detail.....but not repeat the same 'star-car'. If it is a 5***** car, we all know it shall be shown in almost all episodes. And, full the page that way, what it does is a very 'heavy-page' with problems to be charged like it does actually with some others pages in the site like 5th. Gear, Top-Gear or so.

But I agree with you that in the core of this matter if you are uploading this TV Series is not really very polite submit images that other user have said before he is going to do.

I don't mind other posters submitting pics for the show. In addition, I don't mind if a poster recognizes a rare/unusual/interesting vehicle in a thumbnail and thinks it should be given its own page. That's why I add the "additional images" thumbnails in the comments section of pages.

In addition, I can limit the number of "additional images" thumbnails I add to the comments section of vehicle pages, especially the 5-star cars used in multiple episodes. I also used the "edit post" feature to add them to a post rather than creating new posts each time.

I agree that the two images you mention would be the best for having their own page. What bothers me the most is submitting many pictures for cars that are clearly too background. I think that is best left for the comments section. In addition, MaindrianPace resubmitted two of the same pictures that were in a previous submission. One as a different car (Bel Air), and one as the same car (Mustang). Submitting cars that are too small and not very rare instead of commenting on them as a thumbnail is what what bothers me, not adding cars to a show I'm doing.

And about backgrounds only will be uploaded those already not listed and, besides that, should be bigs, clares and near.
