I was at a local car show and took a few photos of cars that I liked. Am I allowed to sell these as prints, as the photos were taken in a public space?
Thanks

You’re fine (in the US at least). fwiw, a “property release” typically has no teeth in most editorial uses, HOWEVER, sometimes a stock company like Adobe might require one for things like architecture or images of otherwise copyrighted things like maps or illustrations on walls. Thats if you’re trying to sell your images on Adobe stock or whatever.

Photographers are protected by the right to show images that are newsworthy. Once you move it to commercial such as putting it in an ad or using someone’s image to sell a product, you have to then get permissions, model release, etc. I’m assuming this was outside and not an indoor car show because you said public space. You’re fine.
You took the photo with your camera. The copyrights belong to you. The car belongs to the other person. Separate the two.

if you’re in the US, you should be good to sell those prints since it’s not for advertising purposes. just make sure it’s clear they’re for personal use, not commercial.

Your allowed to sell a open edition prints - if it’s public space and you’re allowed a your camera yet alone a cell phone. You sell the image by itself and don’t tie it in with any other advertising. Specific example; do not run any form of ads with that image even to your own brand if other logos are present.
