Illuminated backglass in a wooden frame, painted in flat mid-century cartoon style. A banner across the top reads AUTO RACE in large yellow block capitals with red inline shading on a red-and-white striped background, split by a circular crown-and-shield emblem reading GOTTIEB'S in an arc and MILLION in yellow on a red disc. Below, white number rows on maroon panels read 1-2-3-4 and 5-6-7. Two staggered rows of rounded score boxes fill the middle: 600, 700, 800, 900 (each with a small red 000) and 100 to 500, in purple, blue and maroon outlines. The lower two-thirds shows a cream-yellow racetrack: a grey-blue banked oval curves to a small grandstand, with open racing cars in purple, red, light blue, yellow, grey-blue and red on the pale track. A man in a maroon sweater and blue trousers stands centre holding a chequered flag; a hat-wearing crowd fills the lower left, and a helmeted driver sits in the red car at right. Bottom right has an Amusement Pinball signature and a red-and-white script badge.
