But before we get to the cars, let's consider the people who go to look at the cars. Who are they? What do they wear? First off, one lady takes first place. Compared to her, no one else seemed even to be trying:
But there's a subtle elegance that -- to my eye -- is just as alluring:
And yes, ladies, accessorize...
... perhaps with a dog named Peanuts.
So, the women were beautiful, see:
Ah, but the car! The car!
I'm much more attracted to that.
It's a 1966 Corvette! Mosport Green -- a color that was only available in 1966. Doesn't that break your heart?

I've been to a lot of car shows. Those women are not the usual car show enthusiats. Maybe more like Madison women, me thinks.
For the record: I have a 1966 Austin Healey #3000. I bought the car in 1968 and restored it a couple of years ago. The original colour was British Racing Green, but I repainted it Glacier White.
Well, it's what to wear to the outdoor car show in Madison, on a beautiful spring day.
Sounds like a great car!
"Aw, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there."
as per Martha And The Vandellas and Dancing In The Street
Famous Milblogger BlackFive was also there, and posted a video.
He liked the green vette also.

If I remember the fantasies of my teens correctly the profile on the hood of the Corvette indicates a monsterishly fast 427 cubic inch motor. The discussion about the womens attire is moot because all of the women riding with me in my dreams about that car were naked.
Wow! Look at the headlights on her! You know, of course, that cars wear bras, too.
Did you notice the tatoo on the elegant woman in the third photo? It's on her lower leg. While some might not noticed, I have a thing for calves, and that's where my eye lingered.

I'm going to hijack this for a minute. Happy Mother's Day.

The elevation of car over woman never made sense to me. Women are much more alluring.
Sure, I've had fun driving a Porsche on the Authobahn, but that's no where near as much fun as a woman.
Mothers everywhere should carry that one picture with them so the next time their kids are embarrassed to be seen with them, they can pull it out and show them it could be worse.
Fast cars rule.
But yes, women are better than fast cars.
Unless they're fast women.
What is the meaning of the Decorated Woman, or is it just abstract expressionism?
She dressed like a car, and doing so, illustrated the old slang term "headlights." It was just brilliant. It was well-painted and done with a nice sense of humor. And she was acting perfectly nonchalant. Note the painted-on sunglasses.
As for the tattooed lady, it's not surprising. I think she too was doing dress up. It was a great day for a woman to promenade. It was the perfect place to meet men! There were tons of them, greatly outnumbering women. And with all those conversation pieces, you could easily strike up a conversation which is, of course, all a woman has to do.
Ah, now I get it. :)
I used to laugh when my single friends would go to poetry readings to meet men. Go to a car show, a football game!
I don't much care for the Sting Ray Corvettes. I think '61-62 are the most attractive 'Vettes.
I think you should make a "phallic symbols" label.
