Under the artist's sardonic eye, woman and car are visibly conjoined. The Buick's animate, almost bestial, front end (whence it's power) seems an alien projection from her ample breast (or more charitably her desirous heart). Still, for all the clarity of that conjunction, the car is safely separated from her by an improbably large motel window.
