the colors and almost caricature-like feel of this image give it great impact.

This is so far, the most complete and accurate tribute I have sen. So faithful to Margolies work where he chronicled the roadside architecture of the 40s and 50s when things were built in fanciful shapes to attract attention. I looked and loked at your image thinking it was a painting. Almost perfect but spoiled by you not taking the time and effort to square it up in the frame. 9 instead of 10
