 ETA: These are "faux" brake cooling vents. For a look at the whole of this rather unusual car: 1956 Buick Centurion

This 1956 Buick Centurion is currently on display at the Heritage Museum and Gardens, Sandwich, MA as part of an exhibition of "historically significant concept cars". On loan courtesy of the Sloan Longway Collection, it was first shown to the public at the 1956 Motorama Show. It has a fiberglass body and both the exterior and the interior feature jet-influenced styling.

I used Topaz Clean to minimize some of the details and to highlight edges.

I didn't expect this to do much better given the voting patterns. Too arty and sensitive I think.

Love the way this plays with the edges of the frame. Great framing and color. Bump to 7

I like detail abstracts like this a lot - nice choices you made and the red, white and black combo has a lot of punch. Voted earlier, back to comment.

Great details, perfect for the challenge. I had to go and look the car up, something about the tire doesn't look right not sure if it's from processing, doesn't look real.

Nicely chosen segment - it makes a great abstract.
