Amish
In Lancaster County Pennsylvania, there are a group of Mennonites called the Black Bumper Mennonites (also known as the Weaverland Conference Mennonite Church and the Horning Church)
They drive big black american cars that have all the chrome covered in black paint because shiny chrome is too flashy for plain folk.
"Distinctive with the Weaverland Conference, all members drive black vehicles with black bumpers, grilles and hubcaps. To their neighbors they are known as “black bumper” Mennonites."
At a tractor pull in Kinzer, Pennsylvania , a group of them were sitting in the bleachers together. The men dress like the Blues Brothers.
The car in the photo is a good example of a Black Bumper ride - a black, 4-door Oldsmobile 98.
