This picture has been floating around the internet for a little while now.
It is labeled 1957 Sears Parking Lot Show in Lynnwood.
Right away the Rod and Custom Dream Truck caught my eye then I realized that the show has other customs.
The show was 2-1/2 miles from my dads house and he was a big Barris fan as their shop was in the same area. At this time my father was 17 and in no way would he not have been there had he known about it and he would have as he practically lived at the Barris shop. I zoomed and scrolled through this picture and some others taken later in the day, I was not able to find anyone that I felt was him, my mother or his parents. To my dad this would have been his idea of a hot date so that isn't an excuse. The only one was the group to the rear of the Rod and Custom truck, the young lady could easily be my mom, the guy kneeling to her right is not likely him as his hair was still quite blond at that time, the guy to her left could be but again the hair looks a little dark. I tried, still a cool photograph.
