For one point: What was that car, and who are those people?  

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

I hardly dare try this, because it's just too obvious to be correct - is that the original Batmobile during its conversion from the Lincoln Futura concept car ?And would that be George Barris, Shirley Barris and one of their kids (Brett?).

I know you're all laughing at me now.  ::)
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

It's not Adam West or Burt Ward or William Dozier. Is it Mike Henry who was first pencilled in to play Batman ?

Unfinished Futura/Batmobile in front of Barris Kustom City, late 1965, with Richard "Korky" Korkes and his family.  Not shown in the puzzle picture, but in the original photo, is a shiny retractable blade on the front of the car.

Korky was part of the team that originally built the Batmobile.
