Red Violet 1966 Pontiac Catalina, by Scott Smith. A red-violet four-door car with Catalina and Pontiac lettering and an Illinois plate at each end, its rear and front both turned toward you. A tall antenna with a crossbar rises in front of the windshield, and an angular mark with short lines beneath it floats high above. Scott’s inscription runs in two lines.
