Flat-head-style backglass painted in bold mid-century cartoon art. The left third is a score card panel: an arc of coloured roundels at the top holding numerals 1 to 9 (1, 2 green; 3, 4, 5, 6 orange-red; 7, 8, 9 blue, each ringed in black and white), and below it a vertical stack of pill-shaped ovals printed 900,000, 800,000, 700,000, 600,000, 500,000, 400,000, 300,000 and 200,000 in black numerals on alternating orange, green and blue grounds. The main field is a bright blue sky with puffy white clouds over a pale blue sea and a broad pink-tan beach. A young blonde woman in a lime-yellow and dark green striped one-piece swimsuit sits frontally on a blue picnic blanket scattered with small white stars, her legs crossed and stretched towards the lower right, one arm braced behind her, smiling out towards the viewer. On the sand behind her sits a small white-and-red sailboat, and in the sky at right are two silver seaplanes and a red-and-white biplane. A cascade of red hearts, each carrying a white numeral 1 through 10, runs diagonally from the upper left down the right edge. Big curved red letters with a heavy black outline spell the title down the right side, with a flowing yellow script company name above them.
