THE LOT
Used car lots, which dot the country like mud spattered on the side of an off-roading Jeep, are as varied as the communities they serve. Some offer hundreds of cars sprawled over acres of tarmac, announced to the world by radiating strings of flapping pennants and floating helium balloons. Others comprise little more than a shack on a patch of grass marked by a small sign. All are inhabited by the often maligned used car salesmen, who in truth are as varied as the lots they populate. The Lot seeks to capture this diverse and colorful world, revealing another face of the American identity.
