The only 240 I recall was a straight 6 Cylinder. Otherwise the lineage looks right. Also the 390 (in Aluminum) was fit to the lonely individual Fliptop but was a dismal failure.

I would date that picture in mid 1963. Looks like a Car show at perhaps Pamona Fairgrounds. The Cobras have large badging and narrow wire wheels, and all the accesories including luggage racks to promote travel. Ford Falcons had not yet changed to the fresh boxy '64 style from their initial rounded nose design.
