Wild Plum
The car is a 1972 Javelin. The color is “Wild Plum.” The building is based on an abandoned structure somewhere west of McCormick place. It looks out of place because all of the other buildings around it were torn down during the urban removal of the ‘60s. That’s how the area appears anyway, with a lot of vacant lots and a few scattered high-density apartment buildings ca. 1965.
