Nice model and composition. However, I see a subsurfacing or smoothing problem on the right column.
Some durt textures would add much to the materials of the walls, ground and city light.

Thanks.
The street had been fully cleaned up before the picture was taken.

I'll add some mess to the scene.

Nice render, but there's something about this scene that makes it seem like it's indoors. I can't quite put my finger on it.

ok, now put bump maps of scratches on everything with very low settings, especially on the walls bumps could do it, you can even add a map on to glossy or roughness settings, and some low diffuse late noon sunlight coming from the back and play with shadows..
it's great modelling, only looks like a computer made it

everything is too clean, unless you want a computer clean look, there is no 100% exactly straight line in nature, there is always something slightly bumpy and dirty

Apart from all the stuff mentioned, I find the lighting bad. The car is in dark, you can't really appreciate it, not the form, not the materials.

I wish I had a life at that time, everything was much better, and it was even cleaner! Don't ruin it with dirt, this is something we got used recently! Back then, they had the time and mood to make everything just perfect!
The clock looks like an image though.
Great render.

Thanks for all response.
I'll make the street just a little bit older.
There is a night light already in the scene (daylight environment at night time). I didn't want to light up the environment too much.
There are two main object in the scene. The most important is the car of course, the another one gives the message of the scene, the ad.
I'll figure out how the more light not ruins the feeling.
The clock was modelled, maybe the 2 hands are too close to the clock face.
Thanks mates,
Kupe

The ad is not even noticeable at first or second glance (I didn't payed any attention to it). Currently the things that stand out most are the pillars and the vertical going "first national bank" wall. The car also blends with the night too much and that makes it a secondary object on the scene. You'll need to make changes to lighting and composition, if you want to emphasize the car and the ad.

Great stuff!
I just would have changed the light's temperature to something less "cold"...
I'm not an expert AT ALL but in my mind very bright lights refer to a more recent period of time, i.e I doubt they had such bright streetlights at the time (but I may be wrong...)
Maybe have a go at a lower light temperature, it might add something to the mood.
Great job anyway...!
