In my young years I never had a new bike, always had to scrap together old parts and pieces to assemble junk bikes. The first year I was eligible to enter soap box derby in my area I finish in second place, the prize for second was a new bike. As it happened I had entered a PAL soft drink contest few mounts earlier by submitting wording of why I liked PAL. Within few days of receiving my new bike from soap box derby, a new Schwinn bike with all the extra’s like tank looking cover between top rails, horn, headlight, rear rack, etc. arrived at our front door for winning the PAL drink contest. I was like WOW, after only having just junk bikes to having two new ones within about a week. Thought I had gone to heaven without even dying.
For sure less than vintage, probably altered photo or AI created. Some of cars are later models and shadows don't agree with some buildings or automobile shadow angles. Not to mention some of wording/names don't make sense.
That's caning on the side of the car. Just like my Grandmother's rocking chair. It was used on high end cars in the '30's like Cadillac.
