Wow!
Ethyl really is.......simply brilliant.
What great memories. Looks like Ethyl is standing next to a 1953 Cadillac. Early 50's Cadillacs were the first type of car I could identify. An early memory is cruisin' the streets of Bellaire, Texas in our '56 Olds Holiday 88 and calling out "Daddy, its a Caddy!" -- You must forgive me, I was only 3 years old at the time ;-)
Anyway, a great shot -- all done tone-in-tone. Brown mink, brown bag, beige skirt, beige building, even the Caddy is beige. The only thing that calls out in color is..... Ethyl!! (and the Delco battery sign)
Gotta love it!
Thanks for sharing!
