Oldsmobile Vista-Cruiser and the California Zephyr

What's interesting is that GM associated this car with the renowned California Zephyr, posing one of the best publicity photos of the train as a backdrop for their new-style station wagon, as seen in this 1964 National Geographic advertisement.

This image of the California Zephyr really fascinated me - even before I really knew much of anything about the train. That was all rectified in January, 1967 when I had my first transcontinental ride on the California Zephyr.
