That's the back yard at Chevrolet Flint Assembly during the 1979 model year. Line 1 was pickups at 60 jobs/hour; Line 2 was Blazer/Suburban at 36 jobs/hour for a combined total of almost a quarter million vehicles per year.
I told the story one time about how vehicles would get lost out there, sometimes to the point that we would re-build a new vehicle with the same content and ship it in place of the original. The lost ones usually turn up at model changeover when production ceases and the repair backlog gets worked down.
I think that photo demonstrates how that might happen.
Here are the rest of the photos taken during that same shoot:
