Fingerprint: Large honeycomb of yellow-outlined hexagonal inserts lettered above flippers, bright red open-top hot rod with grinning driver directly above those flippers, black nameplate on car nose, apron reads LEFT FLIPPER CONTROLS GAS and RIGHT FLIPPER CHANGES GEARS, orange-amber desert-canyon scene throughout
The centre of the playfield is covered by a large honeycomb of yellow-outlined hexagonal inserts, each one lettered, arranged like a hexagonal tile floor directly above the flippers. A bright red open-top hot rod with a grinning cartoon driver sits immediately above those flippers, with a black nameplate on its nose. Black decals on the apron read LEFT FLIPPER CONTROLS GAS on the left and RIGHT FLIPPER CHANGES GEARS on the right, confirming the car theme. The whole board is a blazing orange and amber desert-canyon scene with a flame-and-lettering banner across the top. A chequered-flag roundel and a small orange car are printed on the lower apron.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Man | One cartoon male driver, grinning, seated low-centre in a bright red open-top hot rod with black bonnet stripe and a black nameplate on the nose, hands on the wheel |
| Vehicle | Small orange-red cartoon car printed on the lower apron inside a black chequered-flag roundel |
| Vehicle | Yellow and orange hot-rod van/limousine bodywork panels in the mid playfield, with red accents |
| Other | Small illustrated dust-devil and cactus silhouettes in the orange desert background |
A tall three-quarter view of an entire pinball cabinet, glass-covered, with the playfield filling the upper two-thirds and the black front cabinet, coin door and START/CREDIT button panel below. The playfield is dominated by a hot-rod / desert-road theme in hot orange, amber and yellow with heavy black shadowing and chrome-plated wireform ramps. A red open-top hot rod with a driver sits low-centre above two bat-shaped flippers, and directly below it the apron carries a black circle with a chequered-flag motif and a small orange car. The most unusual element is a honeycomb of large yellow-outlined hexagonal inserts in the mid-lower playfield, each hexagon lettered. Above them a silver ribbon of road and a blue-lit display sit in a desert-canyon scene. At the top, an orange-and-purple banner of flames and stacked lettering spans the upper playfield, and a cluster of tall chrome ramps and habitrail-style wire runs crosses the upper half. Red-and-cream instruction cards are riveted to the lower apron. The cabinet sides and lockbar are matte black with red, white and grey chevron striping.
