Thanks "huffy2"! It is a great picture. I only wish that it a lot more pieces, like 200+ or 300+. I suppose that these black and white pictures cant be made that large???
I you look closely, the billboard directly behind the 1926 Dodge is an advertisement for the Dodge Brothers Motor Cars pointing out More Room-More Comfort-More Value. OMM you are spot on, this was a staged advertisement.
I found a report of a an attempted assassination attempt on Al (Alphonse) Capone by Bugs Moran in a drive by shooting; the photo above seems to not quite fit.
There are no fired cases on the ground in this photo, so no shots have been fired by the persons in the photo. Nor is the automobile shot to rags as of yet. And the photographer is quite close to a real gunfight - even if not directly involved.
My conclusion is a posed photo, but I don't know who or why.
