Thank you!

Thanks again. There is remarkably little background on the photo (including through Getty Images, which owns the rights). No known photographer or original source credit. The earliest reference to this specific photo (after a search that included the Library of Congress) is 1990. I've found no refer...

Thank you. That's rather my conclusion as well. The sign just seems...off. And the attempts at creating a 3-D shadow effect appear pretty fishy to me. Thanks for weighing-in!

Greetings, all! New member here. I have a puzzle/mystery I thought some of you might be willing to help me solve. It relates to this now-nearly-iconic photo of the guy standing next to his 1929 Chrysler Imperial 75 Roadster, with a sign that says "$100 WILL BUY THIS CAR. CASH ONLY. LOST ALL ON STOCK...
