How can I upload car photos (must I fill a property release?)

Hello, my name is Alex and I have a adobe stock contributor account.

I take car photos a lot, so I have a whole library them.

How can I upload these photos without violating any laws? If all the cars are mine, and I fill a property release form, is this ok?

Or the property release must be signed by the manufacturer (eg. BMW, MERCEDES, AUDI? etc.?)

Please help me or post a tutorial link-step how can I upload legally my car photos.

Thank you.

P.S. On other contributor accounts I upload them as editorial. Since I do not have this option in Adobe Stock, please help me and tell me how can I get the photos uploaded and approved for sale.

It depends on the car. Often the design of the car is trademarked and if recognizable no logo is needed to identify it.

Owning the car is not the same as owning the trademark to the car. If the vehicle is recognizable, the manufacturer would need to sign a property release allowing for commercial use.

Thank you for your prompt answer.

If I hide in photoshop all the sign/marks/logo of the car, is this ok?
