Most film noir movies have a few daylight scenes either because it's easier to see the cockroaches scurry when the lights are shined or to show contrast to the usual night / rain / fog / heavy overcast / or claustrophobic indoor settings of most noir scenes.
This looks, to me, like one of the few "brighter" daylight scenes from a noir movie.
I can see Mitchum - fedora pitched at just the right angle and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth - chatting up a wall-eyed blonde for information off to the right of the car wash.
Plus I love the overhead support and copious rigging to support the sign. And good Deco door handle on 541.
