The shadow under the cars in the first picture does not look right

If you look at the tires on the 69 Camaro on the right...it has big letters?

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if they took an existing more modern photo of the empty building and then added the "vintage" elements: signage, cars, etc.

here is a pic from 2008 that may have been used

the AC wall unit looks similar in the 1969 pic

looks like the tower was covered with some type of siding and a cap in the 2008 pic so the photo-shopper had to fix that

the 1968 pic looks like a light or pole on top

the distance from the top of the YENKO letters to the top of the tower looks different in the 68 vs 69 pic


the YENKO letters were bolted on pieces and are still around today

Definitely the same photo.

You can see the reflection of a Ford Bronco or something that they left in the glass in both pictures.

Nice attention to detail, though: they even modified the brick building in the background.

In the first picture the vertical Chevrolet is not spelled correctly
