Can you figure this one out ? Look at the details.

It is very obviously a government project.

There is one upper-level manager, a mid-level manager, a foreman, and three workers.

No one is doing anything (but drawing salaries while waiting for the environmental-impact study results) except the worker who's IN the car, obviously holding it down in case gravity weakens momentarily.

That is a very early James Bond car as evidenced by the 2 license plates...no cops in the photo, just spies and secret agents disguised as everyday people. The car has the special issue tire chains used only by Bond and the adjustable radiator cover :) FYI...this photo was taken in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada at the onset of 'Camp X'...ssshhh

Could have been used in a hit or a robbery. Murder, Inc., for example, would steal a car and plates that would be used in either from other, distant and separate neighborhoods and park it in a garage they used for such contingencies. When it came time to pull off a job, the stolen plates would be put on the stolen car, preventing the cops from making a positive I.D. When they finished the job, the car would be ditched far enough away from where the job took place to, once again, prevent it being traced it back to them and the boys would use a "clean" car to escape in.

People used to put the chains on at the beginning of the winter season and leave them on. The fact that there's no snow on the ground doesn't mean anything. Maybe it was a warmish day and it had all melted, but that didn't mean everyone went out and removed their chains for the day. You can see snow on the tree branches and the grass behind the fence, and accumulated on the parked car that looks like it had been sitting there for a while... so obviously it had snowed recently.

The van in the back looks like it does not have any chains on at all. Looks like it must have spun around and hit the lamppost one can see in a the second photo. I wish that was bigger.

The last one of the two in Bills post above looks serious, could have been a fatal perhaps?

After reviewing All the Evidence this guy has it correct ?

Good Work Sir ?

Ah that answers the two plates, one for the state and one for the district?

Would you have put one set of chains on the front since there wasn't positraction back then?

interesting radiator cover, if you notice the water is frozen around the hood and the cap,

Is that the rest of the lamp post by the tree in the lower right corner?

Interesting that it is a racially integrated photo that skews historical propaganda.

No, DC is its own self-contained entity and is not a part of any state.

I can't make out the upper plate, but the lower one is Maryland (MD). Makes sense, since Maryland literally surrounds DC on three sides, the Potomac River being the fourth side.
