Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

If you took the pictures, you have the copyright of the pics.

The only problem is, did the persons who owned the cars assert their right to reserve rights on the reproductions of the cars by any means by posting statements such as "photographs not allowed".

Absent these assertions, there should be no problem with you posting these pictures.
