WOW! A bit risque for 1932 or has the picture been 'improved' ?

Probably just a generic illustration, but it has shades of Chrysler, Graham and Auburn.

Re the original, if I had spent more of my youth focussed on the object at left instead of right my life could have been very different. Although it has given me a life long interes in something which in old age I can do more justice to...
