Stovepipe Wells Village, about 30 miles northwest of Furnace Creek, is one of Death Valley's three tourism centers. An old fire engine is a Stovepipe Wells landmark. I imply the presence of the grille, and keep the empty cab in the frame, largely because of the glow in the rear window, which carries our eye through the vehicle. The most incongruous aspect of this image is the bulging hood decoration, which looks like a nose. My vantage point stresses this decoration, which gives this vehicle an “in your face” identity. This “nose” is typical of the late 1930s “Streamlined” look.
