DescriptionFour men are seated in an early automobile, two in the front seat and two in the back. Tom Insley, owner of the Tom Insley's Bicycle Shop, is driving the car. There is no roof on the vehicle and has one large headlight with two smaller headlights over the front wheels. The dirt road they are parked on is in Albuquerque, New Mexico with businesses lining the road behind them. Tom Isley wears a driver's cap, a double-breasted jacket, denim pants and well-worn boots. The others in the car wear thick suede fedoras, three-piece suits, starched separable collars, and have metals pinned to their lapels. A "FOR RENT" sign is adhered to the side of the vehicle. All the men have short hair and groomed mustaches.

Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion and emulsion loss.
