I think this was supposed to be a 1960s car, though I didn't get the information on it. The guy behind the car is apparently listening in on more information about it. I should try that myself the next time I get there.

p.s. on a note of interest; even though a simple drawing; one of several attempts, none have captured the great personality of this humble* giant of pure flamenco as well as the above.

My mother who was a portraitist and earned her living by painting portraits told me before she died , that there can be no greater punishment by God for an artist to have to paint "empty" faces, in other words, painting people who were not alive. To-day we would most likely call them "zombies"
In my own case never had to paint anyone unless they were alive.
