Looks like he is a big frog in a small pond. Showing off to his buddies in the pool hall? Not the best end of town either. The driver looks a little like a Hired Driver. Interesting photo, one could write a novel around that photo.
Very well said! My wife is looking over my shoulder and I read to her what you wrote. She thinks the same way you do, and likes your observations of the photo.

What a cast of characters!
