CH. 7

This yellow car with the front end damage represents the damage that would have been caused by Myrtle hitting the car when Daisy ran her down on her way through the valley of the ashes after a long day in New York City. after Myrtle is ran down nick comes across the scene some time later and by then they had identified the car that had been used and he realizes that it was Gatsby's car that had been used to do this so he assumes that it was Gatsby driving it at the time when in fact it was Daisy. Nick fears that Mr. Wilson will recognize the car from earlier and the day and realize that it was Gatsby who ran down his beloved wife. so with the incertainty of how and why Myrtle was hit by the car remains a mystery.
