Thank ya kindly Mr. Besser...Sam Griffith had told me what the car was...but I OD'ed on all the cars, so I forgot!

I knew that someone would know what the car was...it was still way cool. BTW, what's that spotlight looking thing up on the dashboard area?

I'm thinking that is called an "Autronic Eye" which would automatically dim your bright lights when it detected the headlights of an oncoming car. Very high tech back in the day

Thanks for confirming that, Sam, I wasn't sure if I had the name right or not. Thanks also for the link to that incredible 59 Olds - what a car!

Damn...take a few minutes to check out that 59 Olds !!!

I love that roofline on GM four-door hardtops of that period. 1959-61, I think. I'd take that Olds in a second! The house it was photographed in front of looks 1959 period-perfect.
