The car in the ad may have been a preproduction car. As I've shown previously, lots of things get left off of preproduction cars given to the ad companies to set up their photo shoots.

LOL - in the 1970 (?) Impala brochure, one of the cars has no drive train. It was delivered to the ad company on a flat bed.
