In a seemingly unrelated story: what you think you know about
1959 Cadillac Eldorado
Could this red-hot, A4 / page-size dorincard (in this case, a non-traditional maximum card) be a visual metaphor for..."something, something"?
At first glance, it's just a car.
The image shows not "the little red...engine...hood", but the tail-lights.

At second glance, with a metaphoric mindset, it could be much more - your mileage may vary.
La Belle Américaine might be incorporating some symbols, beknownst, or unbeknownst to you
(who the hell invented such words?).
This classic car might "say":
- I'm red, because I'm hot...and cool, too. [ :) ]. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever"; "forever until it rusts", in my case. Unless I'm conservated, with loving care.
- I'm expensive, because I'm worth it. My Owner ("We, the People" - from the upper class of USA, that is) can afford the expenses, including gasoline. Quality is expensive, although costliness is not a quality.
- My chrome parts are shining, because I don't like dullness. It's also a message to some entities that my "Master of Metalworking" Owner could send you objects of Heavy Metal, and other variations (such as the awful Depleted Uranium), should you "ask" for it by your misdeeds.
- My tail-lights may look like suppositories, to say "You made the wrong suppositions about my Owner's lack of reaction, if you're abusing him. I'll give you the right suppositions..."
- My tail-lights may look like lipstick, because we know when lip service is necessary.
But there is a time for talking, and a time for doing.
- My tail-lights may look like missiles/rockets, because when ALL the talking is done, and the conflict IS inevitable, then compound interest might be your "undoing".
You'll be "a person of interest, hiding in a compound".
Don't enter into an intentional, vicious collision with me (head-on, broad-sided or rear-ended), coz my Owner will eventually catch you between a rocket and a hard place...or something.
Or, if smithereens is not the desired outcome, then my Owner (the American people) will send its S.E.A.L. of approval and justice will be served, with a personal touch(down).
Menu: cold cuts, and bullet entree...
Then your stash of paraphernalia, and cornucopia of actionable intelligence will be swept clean from your unassuming fortified mansion in the shadow of the Wild, Wild West Point Academy of No Return ("Stay put!", eh?).
