The issue isn't the picture itself, it is how it is used. Of course we all agree your use is no big deal (I strongly believe socially Copyright is DEAD). But legally it would appear that your use seems to go beyond 'fair use' and in light of your strong statements about copyrights, it is why I brought it up.
I'm pretty sure if you take a picture of your purchased Ford car, put it on a brochure and call it "the new Harry Motors prototype" and promote that as yours, that Ford will not only have a problem with that but that they probably have the car copyrighted and have legal grounds to go after you.
In a similar example, I remember when Ferrari successfully sued several studios for using replica Ferrari cars in TV shows. The studios clearly owned the replicas, but Ferrari had the copyright to their image/logo/car shape/etc.
