What car is shown in front of the Treasury building on the back of a US 10 dollar bill?
Older US $10 bills show a car but it's not any particular make. According to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing the bill's designers were careful to depict a "generic" car that couldn't be associated with any particular manufacturer.
Many people have hypothesized about which model or models inspired the picture. The two most common guesses are a Model T Ford and a 1926 Hupmobile. While both bear a moderate resemblance, the Treasury stands firm that no actual car was shown.
The image remained on $10 bills for six decades and became both a curiosity and somewhat of a laughing stock about the government's refusal to update paper currency. As a result, bills issued since 1990 no longer show the car or old-style streetlights.
