Found to be solvable with deep lookahead by gator.#6: Gator (gator) on Jul 31, 2012 [HINT]
Took more than 2 look-ahead moves, but not too hard. Good puzzle.#7: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Oct 6, 2018 [SPOILER]

Saw partial outline at top, and thought of a car. Got the 5, and thought, "Car 54! Where are you?" Laughed. Sooooo long ago. Never thought that would really be it.
Saw that bottom would be a car too, but slightly different. Got the 55, and WOW.
Thanks for the laugh. I'll finish the middle now.
Fun one and amusing use of almost-symmetry (top and bottom are slightly different. So there was a mystery to me there.)
Edge logic on the 7's then the 5's (must be in the top and bottom) then column 21-23 in the 4-4-4 row is a dot. (Line logic excluded.) Then r1c22 has to be a dot. Then the 5 in column 16--r3 is black. Then work on the remaining 4-14-6 on top.
