The eyes have it......

Even race cars need a little adornment.

Thanks, buddy. I really wrestled with this one. Walking down a row of race cars, it caught my attention big time. I kept looking at it. There are some issues, but once I locked in on those eyes, I was toast. I went ahead and shot the image....hoping that the pull it had on me would transfer over into what I recorded. I still can't escape those eyes. I think you're right. The dent ( not really a dent but some contours in a body panel ) sprinkles some reality to a scene that could foster illusions. I know this one is not for everybody.

Instantly reminded me of....

"You know the big percentage in roulette
And that is why you never place a bet
You've talked to sev'ral horses that have won
And once or twice you knew who'd win before the race was run
You know what's coming when the cards are cut
You're on to each and ev'ry racket, but

You're a sucker for a dame
The pucker of a dame will make you jump
Just like a chump

When you gaze into her eyes
The springs that make you wise refuse to work
And you're a jerk.

I've seen you playing poker with three aces
A hand of which you're very, very fond
You knew that your opponent had three deuces
But it happened your opponent was a blonde

So you just threw your cards away
And thought about the day when you became
A sucker for a dame."

Title: You're A Sucker For A Dame
Artist: Irving Berlin

As for the image itself....wonderful!

On what type of auto did you find this particular "art?"

Gee, Al, you may have just explained my fascination with this piece of art. It was on a race car ( see below ). I think the placement of this alluring lady on the body of a forceful, competition race car is an incongruity that grabs one's attention.

Gee.... I was expecting to see the image on 1930's / 40's car vs whatever that race car is that its' on. really cool graphic. those eyes.......... I'll see them for a long time.

That's what I was talking about, David. I get mesmerized looking at those eyes.
