Good catch guys! That's actually a 66 GTO I believe. The roof line has the recessed rear window of the 66-67 model, and the GTO emblem on the side is up on the fender, so this is a 66. The "Tiger" campaign was halted for 1967, so it also makes sense this girl is holding a little stuffed tiger for a 66 GTO.
