Crossword Genius

Displays old models (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exposes

'displays' is the definition.
('expose' can be a synonym of 'display')

'old models' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex'.
'models' becomes 'poses' ('pose' can be a synonym of 'model').
'ex'+'poses'='EXPOSES'

(Other definitions for exposes that I've seen before include "Brings to light" , "Reveals" , "scandalous revelations?" , "Deprives of cover" , "Uncovers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
