It kinda depends on what you're trying to do with the reference images exactly. Normally people would make 3 reference images like you have there but one for the top which goes on the bottom where you have it, one for the front which goes to the rear of the car model and one for the left (or right) side which goes on the right (or left respectively) side of the modeling area. This way the reference image planes form the corner of a box and looking at the model from the Top, Left (or Right) and Front viewports don't show the other planes because they are perpendicular to your view.

With the rear car reference plane you could put that in the front of the area where you'll be modeling the car and alternately hide either the front or rear planes depending on whether you're modeling the front or rear.
