Fingerprint: Drive-in movie title, carnival center panel with chequered squares and radiating crimson-pink sunburst rays, four directional yellow-green plaques (GO FOR THE POLE, QUICK PIT, GASOLINE ALLEY, PALACE VALLEY), maroon bumpers, grey-yellow ramp structures, red display, two white flippers, red-and-purple lamp wash, checkered vinyl rails, 1950s automobile scene.
The centrepiece is a big chequered-square score panel ringed by radiating red, pink and cream sunburst rays, like a carnival wheel, sitting inside a wide rainbow arc of coloured chevrons. Just left of centre stands a flat rectangular insert reading NORD P 31 189, an incongruous rally-style score card amid racing-car and pole-position plaques. Four coloured instruction arrows in yellow and green radiate across the lower field reading GO FOR THE POLE, QUICK PIT, GASOLINE ALLEY and PALACE VALLEY, ringed by maroon pop bumpers and target lamps. The cabinet front is printed like a cinema ticket booth, with STATUS REPORT and FOUL REPORT boards on the side panels and DRIVE-IN MOVIE in red at bottom centre.

| Kind | Description |
|---|---|
| Other | A small painted human figure in a red top standing upright in a car park / forecourt scene at upper centre, facing downfield |
| Vehicle | A painted 1950s-style saloon car in cream and dark red parked beside the standing figure |
| Other | Several tiny painted bystander silhouettes along the upper-right car park apron, mostly lost in the orange lamp wash |
A full-width playfield shot from above, lit almost entirely by hot red-orange and purple-blue lamps, so the lower two thirds is washed in violet while the upper arch glows amber. Black-and-white chequered vinyl wraps both side walls and the outer rails, with flat cream checker panels down each side carrying red printed signage. The centre of the lower playfield is dominated by a large painted circus-style score panel of chequered squares framed by a sunburst of red and pink rays and ringed by round maroon bumpers; above it, a broad rainbow arc of chevron stripes carries arrowed yellow and green instruction plaques. Painted art up the middle shows a drive-in movie scene with a small standing figure in front of a car, flanked by tall grey-and-yellow ramp structures with coloured insert panels. Two white rubber flippers with chrome guides sit low and wide, and a red two-line alphanumeric display glows in an insert at bottom centre reading DRIVE-IN MOVIE. Curved chrome wireform and habitrail loops run up both sides, a lane-change wire rides the right, and a star-shaped spinner sits low on the left.

A wide, horizontally composed racing backglass drenched in orange and amber light. Across the top left, the word INDIANAPOLIS is lettered in large italic block capitals, yellow with a red outline and black drop shadow, with a checkered-flag chequer motif tucked behind the start of the word. Below and right of it a huge red-and-yellow chequered flag shape carries the number 500 in huge yellow italic numerals with heavy black shadowing. The right third is dominated by a tall pyramid-style digital scoreboard tower, its faces packed with orange and white numbers (21 25 24, 16 25 16, 35 27 35, 18 28 12, 2 29 22, 59 31 59, 26 32 26, 14 32 14, 30 33 30), with a cursive signature logo above and to the right of it. Behind everything is a packed oval raceway: grandstands full of tiny yellow crowd figures on the left, a scoring pylon, an American flag on a pole, and a huge banked corner of spectators sweeping across the right. In the foreground, low-angle and hugely oversized, three open-wheel Indy-style racing cars charge towards the viewer down the banked turn, with black slick tyres, exposed suspension, wings and helmeted drivers. The nose of the lead car carries the number 10 and the front wing reads INDY. Small white legal text sits in the bottom left corner, and a small artist signature in the bottom right.
