Scott SmithChicago, Illinois
Blue Gorgeous 1972 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron, by Scott Smith. A long light-blue sedan with a white roof, drawn with its rear and its front both turned toward you, tail lights at one end and a chrome grille at the other, each with an Illinois plate. A tall antenna with a crossbar rises past the roof, an orange lamp sits on the front fender, and short marks around the body suggest motion. Scott’s inscription runs above the car in three lines, the last a single word.
