For one point: Identify at least of the pictured club members, the location, and the year.

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

The large building behind them was like many others, in towns across America. Like many icons of the past, their numbers are decreasing.

I think I can read "Sears" on the sign at the left of the picture. Is the building a department store?

Are these guys famous for something else? Maybe members of a band?

Not famous at all, as far as I can tell.

Found it!

The photo was taken at Inglewood, California in 1956. To quote the text accompanying the photograph:

QuoteThat's my brother, Larry Marlin, second from the right standing in front of the family's 1940 Chevrolet, which my parents bought new that year.  When they got a 1953 Pontiac in 1953, Larry got the Chevy.  Larry was 17 when this photo was taken.  Next to him on the right end is George Mautz, and I think it is Linley Warwick (a neighbor) on the left end.  The cars are parked in the Sears Roebuck parking lot in Inglewood, California, where we all grew up.
