I have written before that it is still possible to spot a prewar car, by just paying attention at your surroundings. You’ll see ‘m everywhere, in paintings, in murals, on statues or in an ornament like the one above. It’s the closing stone of a small bridge in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and according to local legend it depicts Henry Ford in a Model T. The stone was made in the 1930s by Leendert Bolle, of whom I have shown other work a few years ago. However, this stone is rapidly deteriorating and the head of Henry Ford is now no longer recognizable. Too bad there are no plans for a restoration.
