A photographed backglass, the upper three quarters a painted 1950s American car showroom scene and the lower quarter a black score-display panel. Across the top a red and yellow striped shop awning runs diagonally upward from left to right, carrying the title in huge chunky red block capitals with a white and dark drop shadow: CAR SHOP, the word CAR at the left and SHOP to its right, a small yellow cartoon face tucked into the gap between the two words. Behind the awning is a warm red and orange showroom interior: a red juke box cabinet at centre left, a chrome and yellow car further back, a wall of small framed pictures or a parts display, and a red-orange car at centre right seen head-on. A large curving metallic blue sports car dominates the lower centre, front three-quarter view, with a very long low bonnet, a wide oval grille, one big round headlamp, a black tyre with chrome rim and a long white and blue highlight streak along the flank. At the right stands a blonde young woman, voluminous curly platinum hair, fair skin, smiling, in a cream jacket and red-and-white vertically striped short shorts, bare-legged, leaning against the blue car. Down the left edge runs a vertical border of round white lamp bulbs. The bottom strip is a black panel with glowing blue numerals in windows, flanked by round orange and white lamps.
