Phillip, what dealership is that photo from?

That photo is from my August, 1967 issue of "Lincoln-Mercury Dealer Management News and Review" magazine and was taken at Uptown Motors, Milwaukee, Wis.

From the article it seems Playboy Magazine's September Playmate of the Month (they don't even give her name) made a one-day personal appearance to help publicize the Cougar automobile (their wording).

She likely stopped at Northwestern Ford which was Wisconsin’s only authorized Shelby dealer.

Not sure the math works out for it to be Kim Farber -

I think it would be the September 1966 Playmate Dianne Chandler.

Did anyone else notice the statement: "don't forget to ask about our special extra low prices on 1969 LEFTOVERS". Could they be talking about 1969 Shelbys also?  ;D  Gary
Also, I wonder what the gift of "Playboy Club key-cards" were? Anyone know?

The combination of "Playboy Playmate" and "Cougar" didn't have the same connotations in 1967.
