stopped for the night
If you don't recognize the sign from the portion showing in the upper right, its reflection might help. But what about the car? Rounded off to the nearest five, it was built 60 years ago. The car and the sign are together in the Henry Ford Museum. The building isn't really there. It's a modification that started with some unrelated things in the background that were processed to be somewhat consistent with the reflections on the tailfin. (The reflections are likely from skylights in the roof of the real building.)

- The border was built from four layers (three of them rounded rectangles), many layer effects, and blurring. Reluctantly, I tamed it with reduced opacity and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer clipped to the layer group.
