I thought this was a cool photo. The crew of Apollo 12 received new 1969 Corvette 427's, leased to them for $1 for a year by a dealership, in co-operation with GM. The dealership was associated with Smokey Yunick years earlier, so they wore the Smokey gold/black paint scheme.
Astronauts were : Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and Al Bean.
Every NASA astronaut drove a new Corvette back in the day, and took advantage of their status with the ladies. Only exception was John Glenn, who drove a Hillman Minx.
