A vertical black-and-white photograph depicts a used car; in the right foreground, a large vertically-oriented sign on a post reads, "USED TRUCKS". Extending beyond the sign, a line of cars are parked in an angled fashion along the sidewalk. The lot appears to be situated in a tree-lined neighborhood with a large home visible just beyond the lot and tall trees all around.
