I realize this photo isn't the norm here, but I did it at the request of my sister, who loves pictures that feature a color subject contrasting against a black-and-white background. She loved this photo and wanted to frame it, so she asked me to colorize it. This is the result.

A 1924 photograph shows a newfangled type of car wash that stood at the northwest corner of 42nd Street and South Michigan Avenue. There was at least one other auto wash bowl in Chicago and the concept actually originated in St. Paul, Minn. It was patented in 1921 by inventor C.P. Bohland, who opened two locations in St. Paul. He devised the bowl as an easy way to clean mud off of the underside of cars. Back in this early age of motoring, roads were often unpaved and muddy, and that mud would get caked on the underside of the car and the wheels – but a spin in the nifty Auto Wash Bowl took care of that.
