Is that R/T badging on a Coronet 440 ?
Digging those wheel covers. 15'' means it has front disc brakes like mine
Looks like it.

The girl has an odd hairdo and unusual clothing. Maybe overseas?
 
My new 1969 SuperBee came with 4-piston front disc brakes. It had 14" rims with optional 14" wheeldiscs, seen on a lot of '69 Coronets. My guess is that the Coronet is an early pre-production photo-op car. The 15" rims and wheel discs could mean it has a Hemi in it.
 
Pre production cars often had slightly different badging than production models. I remember the picture of a 1969 Mopar 340 barracuda, which ended up being the 'cuda 340.

It certainly seems to have an identity crisis? I believe that is "500" style lower paint, but with "440" style side-moldings? It has R/T badging, but it also has 'something' where "Coronet-500 or -440" would go on the fender? No visible head rests (or front seats even) but my Spidey-senses are tinglin' "bench"? ... Might just be a 440 that someone painted and badged to taste - don't know.
