Description
-
Black and white image of what appears to be a 1932 Ford Deuce that has been modified as a 'hot rod' or race car. Sitting on the hood of car are a number of trophies related to racing, and three men stand behind the car, one in mechanic's overalls, one in a t-shirt and pants, and one in a suit. The number '6 7/8' is painted on the door, and beneath the door window is the name 'Frank.' A 'Penz Oil' sticker is on the body of the car near the back fender. The side panels and fenders have been removed from the front of the car, revealing the enhanced engine, and the front windshield has been replaced with mesh. Rolls bars can be seen inside the car, and the doors are hinged at the back so they open at the front, a style commonly known as 'suicide doors.' The car is parked along a city street in what appears to be an industrial area, with gas stations and garages on either side of the street behind the car and its people. This image is part of the Herbert E. McMullen bequest. Mr. McMullen, a local photographer, also collected images of daily life in the area from other sources and photographers.
