You should then also notice that the steering wheel is on the wrong side, and that the windshield wipers are as well.


Conclusion... The picture has been "reversed".

Happens all the time.

I would like to know why anybody would want to reverse a picture? It makes you think a quarterback is left-handed, a car's gas tank is on the wrong side, and just confuses everyone.

I'm sure it was unintentional. The picture was probably taken from a negative to get the effect and the person doing the work didn't notice that negatives are reversed! Or, they just wanted the front of the car pointing towards the center of the page rather than the a$$ end.
