This is the Olds display from a 1966 auto show, but unfortunately I don't know which one. If anyone has a clue, I'd appreciate it. In the mean time, enjoy.
Braniff Airways (before it folded, both times) back in the '60's had neat stewardess outfits, some with clear plastic bubble-protectors for the head, capes, etc. Calder painted the outside of the planes wildly. Really had some great times in the '60's, but had 'em in the '70's, '80's, '90's, '00's, and the '10's, still going strong................well, maybe not as strong this year. A few aches, creaks, and complaints from the ol' bod' nowadays.
The woman in the black dress must have had seniority over the others. Aron it always good to see you hanging in there. I sure have a few more aches and creaks these days.
I wonder what those models today would say about the outfits they wore for the photo? The colors do match the décor.
Do not recall seeing a Toronado in that paint color, nor interior color. What about the Eighty-Eight in the background with that blue paint and saddle convertible boot?

FWIW, if you open Google images and upload the picture using the little camera icon on the right, Google will search for matches and you can find where it came from pretty quickly. (assuming it's posted somewhere else on the web)

Those models would be at least 70 years old today....
I wonder if the woman in black is Deborah Bryant, Miss America 1966. Olds had a relationship with the pageant all through the 1960s and Ms. Bryant was awarded a new 1966 Toro for winning.

From the photos, and the Oldsmobile/Pageant connection, I would say you are correct. Good observation Joe.
I'm not afraid to say I had to look this up. Though I was born in 69 I love this era. Its true, I try to learn something or several things new everyday.
At least we can play "oldies" stations -- and still listen to the music -- and
reminisce and enjoy......
Imagine if we were FORCED to listen to that head-banging music or rap...
ONLY?!?!?!?
And then, we still have each other -- as friends --
so that we don't have to (totally) join the "ME society:....
Look at the way they drive today... in these same looking cars that no one
gives a toot about..... It's all "Me first".....
I love pulling the ol' vehicle out and driving on a Sunday like its a Sunday!!!
(Last week -- last week of November -- I had the top down!!!!
I am in Long Island, New York, not Florida!!!!)
Can't hate that!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Holidays, all.......
Sign of the times, I suppose!!!!
(we have CBS - FM up here in New York --- still lots of '50s & '60s mixed
in with, yes, some '70s and '80s -- that's not horrible....)
It's kind of funny -- because if you speak to young whippersnappers about
"oldies" they mention things that happened when I was already OLD...
I told one such recently that my days of having sex ended before he was
born!!!!!!!!!!!!! (BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY....)

My mom's an architect so as a kid I was shuffled around to museums. Considering I was within 2 hours from Philly, DC, and NYC (not to mention having gone on a trip or two to Europe), the exposure seems to work . . . to a point, as I had to sift through those names in my head: "Is that Paul Klee? Oh, someone says it's Mondrian - that's it!"
.... Tedd
