A cartoon policeman in a blue uniform and campaign hat clinging to a grey post that holds a giant slanted STOP sign, a three-lens traffic light and an oversized green GO plate. Two open vintage racing cars face each other in a mock road race - a yellow car with a fat moustached driver in a striped shirt and fedora, and a red car with a flowered-hat woman passenger throwing her arms up. A red-haired woman in a green plumed hat slumps wearily against the post above the slogan IT'S MORE FUN TO COMPETE. The background is a smooth pink-to-yellow gradient with white cartoon smoke puffs, and the two score reels are framed by gold diamond sunbursts.
