Scott SmithChicago, Illinois
Ruby 1987 Ford Crown Victoria LTD, by Scott Smith. A long ruby-red station wagon with a roof rack and green wire wheels, its tailgate and front both turned toward you, each with an Illinois plate. An antenna with a crossbar rises above the hood, a third wheel appears beneath the body, and a long curved stroke sweeps through the sky above. Scott’s inscription runs in green ink in two lines.
