I remember back in that day when my parents ooed and awwed at that car wishing they could afford it.
 
That ad appeared just two weeks before I was born.

A big handsome two-tone car . . . but imagine how hot you'd be inside it at the beach in summer, without today's air-conditioning. A/C units were available on some Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, and Lincolns (I think), but most cars had the classic 4/60 climate control: "Four windows down, sixty miles an hour."
