Problem with a lot of these old car photos is you can't tell if they are moving or not. This one might just be stuck and waiting for a tow.
I actually think that most if not all of them are still, not moving, because of the slow film speed.

Well done, Dave. Kudos and accolades on your captioning acumen.
