According to the Big Book of Barris this photo was taken at the Renegades Rod & Custom Motorama in 1959.[1] But since the Rod & Custom Magazine’s Dream Truck was Wrecked in 1958, the photo has to be taken at the first Renegades Motorama held in 1958. George Barris displayed the wrecked version on some car shows, but then with a pretty smashed up left side.
