Photo Database Index By Year/Model

Available software? Custom?

Im not really sure exactly what to correctly call this thing but what Im wanting to do is create a page somewhat like this [example]:

<snip>

[not a shameless link...its the only example I can find of what I want to do]
that will do the same thing...an archive index by year/model but in a cleaner more appealing and professional way. Possibly with thumbnails showing instead of text links. I think the interior of the above is something known as eSPG v2.0, but Im not positive about that.
I can find very little info if any at all. Not even sure what words to Google to find results.
Ive got nothing really against have something custom made but thought surely someone would have a very classy solution already done. It would be great for just about anything from classic cars to boats or classic war planes.

Any input or advice appreciated.
Thanks

Database design is the first step, but it sounds like you are more interested in the layout after retrieving the data. If it is going to involve images you could either store the path to the image in the database table or store the image itself in the table (or a relative table linked by a primary key) in BLOB format.
