If only they had had something like that in the Garden of Eden - without the typo. At least the sign had "sufficient" spelled correctly. That is a funny sign, though. If someone finds a dead one, I bet he'll wonder if he has to freeze it in a block of ice, or soak it and then freeze it.
We used to have a sign by a railroad crossing: "NO STOP ON TRACK." I should have taken a picture of to add to funny sign collection.

Nice image. I would convert it to a Vertical image. Also the background is very sharp. you shot it at 1/400 sec, f/9, If you would have opened the lens up to 3.5 the background would be soft and give more pop to the car.

I'm fairly sure this is a postwar "P15" Plymouth, which is an interesting vehicle. Chrysler had all the jigs, forms, and mechanicals for its 1941/42 model, and just started rolling them off the assembly line four years after the last one had left the factory. The brochures didn't even have a date on them - and neither did the cars. They made it virtually unchanged through 1948 and it sold fairly well. Unlike later Chrysler products from the 1950s, this model was know for not rusting out. It looks like that reputation was well earned!

Andy - thank you so much for this info. That's some amazing history. I love learning about these cars . . . kind of hate to see it out there just going to ruin, but it sure did make my day!! I have a week's worth of landscapes from up north to process, but this gem stopped me cold! Thanks again for your kind observations.
