I was meandering through YouTube last night and came upon a site called RetroPhotoWorld. It was an eclectic collection of "100 Rare Vintage Photos" depicting a variety of subjects, eras and locations.
Among the pics was the attached, labeled "Los Angeles LAX American Airlines Flight Hostesses 1965". The interesting aspect of it is, they appear to be professionally staged sitting in a Cobra. Examination of the background reveals a 1965 Thunderbird parked in front of a runway blast wall, leading me to suspect this was taken at Shelby American.
I have not seen this photo before and am curious if anyone has more information regarding why it was taken. Was it a shot for an American Airlines promo or airline magazine feature? Or was it done during the June 1965 SA open house? Something else?
This was in SA 2023 Annual, not much info
Those two look to be Twins.
The American Airlines twins.
