This is a black and white photograph of Bruce Conner standing with his arms outstretched while standing on the front bumper of a Rolls Royce. Conner is wearing a suit, tie, and glasses. The car is parked outside along a curb with a wooden building in the background.

Micaëla Gallery printout:"BRUCE CONNER MOCKING ROLLS HOOD ORNAMENT / San Francisco 1965 / While waiting for McClure to leave his place, Bruce Conner and I played around with my parent's car. He posed all over the old Rolls-Royce, but I like his flying lady hood ornament pose the best."
