Sketch of the Airflow, from a Snapshot (Front End)
1965

Sketch of a vintage car, predominantly in shades of blue, with visible pencil strokes and shading, giving it a textured appearance. The artwork is signed and dated in the lower right corner, and there's a handwritten note at the bottom left. The paper background shows slight discoloration around the edges, suggesting age.
