What's going on here?  A point for the complete story, including who, where, when, and what...

I'm assuming the young man won either a contest, or a race. Is he receiving the keys to the Pontiac?

Was Royal Pontiac involved?

The year is 1961

1961 is correct...the kid won a race (actually a points championship), and he won the car.  Royal Pontiac wasn't involved with the car though.

There's a big old hint prominently displayed in this picture.

I'm assuming you mean the Hurst sticker? That's what led me to guess Royal was involved. But in revisiting, their Hurst Pontiac's had ROYAL emblazoned on the side (see below).

Is the puzzle picture Bruce Morgan collecting his prize for winning the stock championship?
