Photographic print of two men sitting on a car

Object Details

Description
A black-and-white photograph of two (2) men smiling and posing with a Buick. The man at the proper-right is sitting on the front fender, leaning back against the hood of the car. He is wearing a button-down, long-sleeved shirt, suspenders, trousers, socks and boots, and all of his clothing is dark-colored. The second man is behind the first, on the other side of the car, leaning forward across the hood and resting his clasped hands next to the first man. The second man is wearing a light-colored shirt and a brimmed hat. The building in the background is out of focus. Around the border of the image is a printed, geometric design.
