The woman seems embarrased by the curves of the car

Mongo loves this one Ron.

The captured relationship between the car and the woman for that instant is priceless. She seems more coy than embarrassed (as if the car had paid her a compliment). She is also just so dressed correctly for this car.

The car itself is a  fabulous curvaceous piece of art.

only CC - consider cloning out the partial writing at top of image (and maybe even the small frame on  the right)

Ron, this car would fit me perfectly :)

Nice to know that Javok is also suitably curvaceous  ;D

Mongo, I noticed the mess at the top a few days ago, and it will go before printing.  I have to think about the thing on the wall.  There was an enormous amount of luck in getting this shot considering it was a crowded opening night.

1936 135M Competition Coupe.  Probably had around 110 Horsepower. Thank you.

Frank, thank you.
