Description

An open-top touring car with a folding hood and a front radiator grille drives along a gravel road cut into a hillside. A driver in a wide-brimmed hat sits at the wheel, with passengers behind him, one partly seen through the windscreen. Scrubby bushes and trees cover the slopes, and pale ridges fade into haze in the background.
