Window Into Past

One could almost confuse this art with a window into the past. A little out of focus, but showing an actual scene from the past.

A Car Parked

The mural showed a car parked in front of the store. An old car (lacking disk brakes, anti-lock brakes, and seat belts, and requiring leaded gas to run).
