The image shows two elderly men sitting and leaning on the front bumper of a car parked on the street. The man on the left is seated on the bumper with his hands resting on his lap, wearing a plaid jacket over overalls and a cowboy hat. He has a mustache and short hair peeking out from under his hat. The man on the right is leaning on the bumper, holding a cane with his right hand. He is dressed in a suit jacket over overalls, and also wears a cowboy hat. He has a slightly longer hairstyle. Both men are wearing work boots. The car they are sitting on has an Alabama license plate. Surrounding them are several parked cars, and in the background, a line of storefronts with visible signs, including one for a 5-and-dime store, can be seen. The street appears to be bustling with activity. The photograph is black and white.
