Description

Photograph of an automobile scrap yard, [s.d.]. Various automobiles, tires, rims, and other auto parts can be seen in the junkyard at center. Most of the parts appear to be somewhat grouped together. Many of the automobiles can be seen next to one another throughout, and a pile of rims can be seen towards the left. A street can be seen to the right of the yard that extends from the right into the left background. Utility poles line the road, and buildings can be seen on the other side of the road. Buildings that are three stories tall or higher can be seen in the background. A sign can be seen on a building at right that reads, "Auto Wreckers".
