Thread: I NEED: Vintage photos of women and roadsters

Mick you are amazing! OK Bob start building that period perfect roadster! What a great "family" story, wife (mother) driver, THE BEST ROADSTER (IMHO) and now we know what mid-50s period roadsters really looked like. I really liked the early shock mounts but I had forgotten the smoothed cowl. Today you might think it was a 'glass car because there was no gas cap on the cowl, but with the '34 dash the original A tank was removed. Frankly that is a real "time machine" picture for me because the condition of the magazine cover is excellent just like I bought it last week. Yes there were girls like that, but not too many. In my Class of '55 one girl had a sleeper '48 Ford Tudor with a stroker Merc flathead in it, but it looked like any other Tudor, sitting still!

Well now, that would be a real challenge....................hunt down some of those gals mentioned in the article and see how long their interest in hot rods lasted. Good chance they're still alive probably in their mid to late 70's now. Have a gathering at Pomona in January...................very cool idea!
