Pearls. An ascot.
Striped trousers and floral prints.
Lounging on the free-standing column spiral staircase and sipping Pepsi out of the bottle.
Good times...

ADDENDUM, 11.10.08: A commenter on this post ventured a guess that perhaps the artist responsible for this ad may have been Austin Briggs, who'd worked in a similar style and had done ads for Pepsi around the same time.
I can certainly see similarities, but I see some marked differences, too.
Casting about the web, I found that commercial illustration authority Leif Peng has gathered together many such Pepsi ads from the era in a flickr set - - including this one.
As Peng has classified this ad as 'illustrator unknown', I think that's our answer - - for now...
- - Anything to add, anyone?
