A little playing with a friend's car

Had a car club gathering this weekend and one of my buddies asked me to shoot a couple photos of his car.
Not being the kind of individual who can leave well enough alone, I started playing with one of the shots I took. A little channel-specific desaturation to bring up the red and mute the green channels just a bit, and this is what I ended up with.
Here's the reference shot.

let's see now…
I think the reference shot looks better (IMNSHO I think the green is nicer)
…the car is parked in a Fire Lane…

BTW what's the thing strapped to the passenger-side of the car? It looks like a grenade-launcher
Well, it IS a Volkswagen. Figured if it was in the fire lane the Fire Dept could have easy access when it burned up.
That's a Thermador brand swamp cooler. You fill the reservoir on the side with ice and water, and there's a system of wooden slats and such inside that "dip" into the water. Then forced air provides a little cooling to the interior on warm dry days. Similar to a swamp cooler on a house, and only effective if the humidity's low. Vintage VW stuff, although I've seen them on other 50's and 60's era hot rods as well.
