Wrecked 1930s Coupe in Rural Salvage Yard, Rear Three-Quarter View

A companion image to a related wreck photograph in this collection, this snapshot shows the same crushed 1930s coupe from its rear angle, with a tow line rigged for recovery. Such sequences of amateur photographs, often taken from multiple angles, reflect the personal and practical documentation families and salvage operators made of automobile accidents in mid-20th-century rural America.
