Photograph is a faded sepia color and shows four men standing next to a car. Photograph may date to the 1930s or 1940s based on the car model and style of the men. On the right side of the car one man stands with his right foot on the step of the car and his right elbow resting in the window. The man behind him stands leaning against the car with his right arm and his left placed on his hip. The left of the car shows two men standing with their arms at their sides. All four men are wearing suits with ties and a dress hat. The background appears to be of a neighborhood, as it looks like a street lined with two-story houses.
