I've often wondered about that image. Your suggestion of a salvage auction makes a lot of sense. The wrecked cars have the doors wired shut. There's an impressive tow vehicle on site. The people around them don't have the demeanour of people viewing a wreck. Can't make out quite what the sign says.

Edit: Pretty sure it says Drive in for Socony Special. (Which strengthens the motor trade connection).

This is on US 61 several miles north of Blytheville, AR.

 

Is that a curved dash Olds? What an amazing time in history. I highly recommend "Excuse My Dust" by Bellamy Partridge. I have a copy that was my grandfather's. Amazing account of first days of the automobile.
