Thanks to Monday’s national celebration of freedom, pyrotechnics and over-consumption, this week’s Classic Captions Contest has been moved to today. To change things up, here’s a very different type of image, looking out from the red velour interior of a ’78 GMC motorhome at a couple outside, gazing off-camera. This photo is probably more open to subtle shades of interpretation than most automotive ad artwork. Who are these people? Do have anything to do with the motorhome, or are they just by-standers who happened to show up at the same scenic overlook? What are they looking at? And what’s in that note on the table?
Hit the jump and let us know what clever take you have on what’s going on here and learn who won last week.
Last week, neight428 hit it out of the park with his take on the courtside Aspen R/T: “‘Nice ’76 Dodge’, a compliment with a strong backhand.” Now that’s gold. Second place finished well behind his comment, with fewer than half the votes, but was still a clever entry from Alff, who’s always seems to have a strong showing: “This lovely Dodge Aspen R/T was first prize for the ladies at Wimbledon in 1976. Second prize was two Dodge Aspen R/Ts.”

Looking out the scenic overlook, Don and Judy wondered if maybe the “white on the outside, red on the inside” color scheme was sending the wrong message to the other members of the Good Sam club.
