    DescriptionMen, women and children gather around Art Hoffman and his Chrysler car in front of the Court Cafe at 109 North Fourth Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The black car is covered in advertising banners and signs for tires, oil, and bread. A sign on the top of the car reads, "Art Hoffman - Champion non-stop endurance driver driving a Chrysler Coach locked in low gear for 103 consecutive hours without sleep for a world's record. Wood Motor Co."
