Looks like my great-grandmothers yard when I was a kid.My uncles did a lot of scrapping,and they had to burn the cars before hauling them in.To get paid for scrap cars they had to be burned first,no glass,tires,upholstery,fuel in the tanks,or oil in the engines.Oil in the trans and rear end was OK.They always had jalopy races in the sand pit on weekends,when the races were over and everybody thoroughly drunk they would just leave the cars there.My uncles would drag them the mile to their house and burn them before hauling them over the scales.They liked Model A's to burn the best,they would poke a hole in the gas tank with a pick and throw a match in the cockpit.Those pictures look like the jalopy races I remember.
