I'm guessing it was a Sebring Yellow car





Note the hood fit, front bumper height in relation to the tooth, "low" W30 emblem in relation to the center of the wide stripe, and trim rings not yet installed. Looks like it might have been taken during the fall 69 or early 1970 - with Gooyears at the corners.

 

that is neat, and good documentation of the imperfections. I like the low bumper, mine rubs against the tooth just a bit - now I can adjust it accordingly and feel good about it

 

the hood stripe is really glossy, I thought they were more of a matte color ?

 

no, all stripes were painted gloss

 

This ain't the Chrysler Corporation!

 

lol my excuse is i was raised in the blue oval camp!

 

Now THAT is a Badd **** Pony Car! Schweet!!

Oh, Yeah, that 442 is sharp, too, LOL! My 69's hood tooth fit like that against the top of the bumper and everything was aligned properly. When I see teeth that are pushed in and drooping below the level of the bumper, it looks to me like the bumper is not straight, or is misaligned.

 

I wonder if that car is still around? I also wonder if those cute girls are... I hope all 3 still look as good as in the picture.....

 

Here is another ad from Mace for 67

 

Now that is funny. The car might still be around and could have been preserved or restored. Considering that picture is almost 50 years old, those cute girls are probably pretty close to 70 years old (near my age).

Cool picture Joe. Thanks for sharing.

 

Was wondering where you may have found this so I searched for the image via Google. Found lots more vintage pics here: http://annualmobiles.blogspot.com/2012/02/

 

Would like to see an ad for Rocket Olds in Abilene, Texas. Really would like to find a trunk script for Rocket Olds.

 

Newspapers.com has some good ones but you have to be a subscriber to get the better quality images. https://img.newspapers.com/img/thumb..._3400_5442.jpg

 

Thats my blog.

 

I know of a Rogers Olds in Abilene.

 

Cool. Nice to see all of those old time ads. Some of them even show proof that women back then don't dress much different than they do today. Always thought they were a lot more conservative for some reason...

 

Never was a Rogers Oldsmobile dealer in Abilene Texas.

My bad, I did not know there were two Olds dealers in Abilene.
