Hadn't considered that.  I can see how it might work.

Not really.  I was struck by color (the several shades
of blue in the car and building), form (the soft
curves of the car against the rigid curves of the
building), and sociology (long story--has to do with
the bold exterior colors often found on neighborhood
businesses in poor African-American communities).  The
stripes on the trunk lid were a bonus.

Thanks much for the review.
