Somehow, the photo galleries in BaT listings seem to get better every year, and it’s easy to lose time perusing the hundreds of images that accompany many vehicles on teh site. Talented photographers continue to up the ante, ensuring transparent presentation, while elevating vehicular imagery into art. Over 49,000 vehicles were listed on the site in 2025, and of those, this award salutes the galleries of the highest caliber.
Last year, the full-size Chaparral 2E display model belonging to Ruxton earned the most votes from the BaT community. This year, the competition is as fierce as ever!
