I’m sorry that contrast on this is pretty muddy. It’s scanned from a negative (I don’t have the print) and the negative seems to have fogged up). I worked on this for quite a few days. I think this is the best I can get it.

Thanks for looking.

Corrections are welcome.

Enjoyed the photo. It sure appears to be a rather large motor car…{doodlebug}. Is that the engine coolant water raditator there at the front left side…Sure appears to be.
