”Nepal workers carrying cars on the rocky, hilly trail from Kathmandu to India as a trade-in on a shiny American model. 60 men, moving to the rhythm of a chant, balance it on long poles.” Nepal, 1949. [2800×1875]
I have seen the same image with different explanations.

This old German-made Mercedes is going to India as a trade-in on a shiny American model. Some 60 (men), moving to the rhythm of a chant, balance it on long poles.
Owner of the car may aswell noticed lack of fuel supply on the otherside of the river

60 Nepalese men form the first towing and repo company. Costs you 13 sheep or marriage to your first-born daughter and a half-acre of land to release the vehicle.
