Good eye spotting the Hillman upstairs. I think the 1958 show was also at the Shrine Exhibition Hall. Here's a photo of the empty hall. Even the circular pattern of the floorboards match.

I wasn't familiar with Lloyd automobiles but found out the it's the little wagon with the white top, facing the Bentley convertible. It has suicide doors which I believe the kids would describe as "gangsta"
