A man with his back to the camera stands bent over the frame of a car to the left of center. To the right of center, a second man stoops over the same car while turned sideways. A third man stands straight up as he looks at a motor that appears to be lowering to the frame of a car. The car frames sit on top of a mechanical assembly line.
