This shot shows the spare tire holder of a 1938 Mercedes Benz 540K Sport Tourer automobile. The car spent many years in a hidden garage in Germany to avoid being found after WWII. After the Berlin Wall fell, the owner uncovered the garage and eventually sold the car. The car was fully restored in 2005. The image was created from a digital photograph with some additional processing to create a more painterly look. Copyright © 2010 James W. Howe - All rights reserved
