What year is it ?
IS IT/WAS IT... Around 1978 ?
Shelby/Breedlove Indy turbine car. And Mad Man Muntz store - the man who probably taught CS to sell....... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madman_Muntz
Galpin still holds an annual show where they empty their new car lot and fill it with classics.

I'm thinking earlier. I.D on the photo says 1969, which would be believable.
What's the newest car you can see? Tough to make out many in the background. Check out the clothes and haircuts too. There's clues.

The sign says "Boss Days" so 69-70 is probable. They didn't play up the Boss in 71.
If someone could blow it up or clarify the picture somehow, to see what a newer car in the pic would be. I remember many of those cars wishing I had something that was good enough to be invited. Similar cars were there around 77- 78! Will look in my way back machine for similar pictures.
My Fathers good friend was the parts manager for many years there. :)
