Real or Photoshopped?

This billboard has been driving me crazy for a while now.

Norris Auto Sales is a relatively new used car dealership that popped up recently on the southeast corner of I-40 and Macarthur; as such, I typically pass it twice daily, and often get stuck at the traffic light at the same corner, causing me to stare at the above advertisement.

What bugs me is, as far as I can tell, the two cars on the billboard are not real cars.

It's hard to tell on the one on left because, unless I suppose you own one, most of those exotic foreign sports cars tend to look alike. It's possible that the car on the left is a real car, although as you can see in the enlarged photo, all branding appears to have been removed from the car.

The truck on the right looks even more strange. It looks a lot like a Chevy SSR, but it's not one. Again, all branding has been removed from the truck in the ad.
