Very nice. Really like the ad. Probably the owner's daughters. It is interesting that no mention of the Chevy 2 was presented in the ad. In '66, those were becoming popular with the L79 option. Those were halcyon times for GM, especially Chevrolet. Seven years later, everything automotive started falling off the cliff for American manufacturers.
