1969 Cutlass (442?) makes it past the Solar System

I was checking out some space website (the wife says I have nothing in my head but space), and I saw pictures that the space craft Voyager (1 or 2) were carrying. It shows, a house in Africa, a modern house, chemical properties, a strand of DNA, math (1+1=2), a woman breast feeding and other interesting things.

I looked up one picture that said "Modern Highway" and it shows a 1969 Cutlass (could also be a 442). Oldsmobile, to boldly go, where no man...one, has gone before." NCC442 or is it NCC442A

Looks like a 4-door, but cool nonetheless.

I can't get my eyes off of what's in front of the truck in the same lanes as the Cutlass. What is that?

I think it is a 4 door. The picture on the site was smaller and I only noticed that it might be a 4 door only after I posted.

Nope, I guess I just missed it the first time around. Pictures look the same size.

It just looks like a smudge.

This is a way cool find. I've followed the space program for many decades now. Dad used to track satellites from NORAD back when I was a kid for the Air Force, and I've always had an eye for the heavens. Thanks a lot for sharing that picture. If anyone else wants to see some of the other pictures they are located here:

Some interesting stuff we sent out to a galaxy far far away.
