Love this 1961 shot from an ad for the Ford Country Squire station wagon

September 22, 2022

Here are models Rita Loonen and Corine Rottschäfer in an ad for the Ford Country Squire station wagon in 1961. Model and beauty queen, Corine Spier-Rottschäfer, took home the title of Miss World in 1959. She was representing the Netherlands and was the first from her country to win the title. Prior to that, she won Miss Europe in 1957. After a successful international career in modeling, she launched her own model agency in Amsterdam. H/T Groovy History >
