Description
Colorized photo from around 1943
Original Title: Untitled
Location: 1739 Broadway, NYC
The image was untitled, had no location. However there was a street address in the reflection, and they sold dodges at one point, using that I was able to pinpoint the address. Not that it matters though,nothing exists today.
They gave a date range of 1935-45. The car is a 1941 Cadillac, and its used, but looks new, so I gave this a date of 1943. I chose to make it blue, because I think it looks good in blue, it goes with the building. Red could be used, but there were too many buildings in the background, it would have been lost.
The building was by dodge, and going by the shape of it, its art deco, I figure that it might have been built in the 1920's, so I made the sign shadow a pink color. But figured they were there for 10 years, and updated the color to a cyan color which still falls under art deco color wise. The original color isn't known, but I needed a little more pop in there, and blue and chrome look nice.
