An ex girlfriend of my Husband, taken sitting on his 1937 Ford car , the popular ‘thing’ to do in the forties and fifties ’ when females were there to be shown off like a trophy.and [some] females thought it cool to pose in their bathing togs and show how they had captured the super cool guy with a car… which some, [cars] actually had a wireless [radio] .

No sorry, Janck O1,old girlfriend of husband. he does remember her name this time! I haven’t done any work on it don’t really know enough.
I love these old photos. This one is great!!!
This is so cool! I love old images! I thought we were suppose to burn ol’ images of Ex’s? This is interesting! LOL
Thank Merle and Sky Fox I always say ‘It might come in handy one day!"they weren’t kept for sentimental reasons just sort of were stored with other things.
Ihave a few more but it takes a long time to scan the correct size.I did do heaps a while back but they’re only tiny.
yep….i love the pose and the feeling…..the creased lines also work
hehe creased lines! there’s me trying to get rid of them.Not sure why we females pose on cars. ?
Do you think it is because men saw both as their possessions back then? ;)
I have some like this of my mother too.
Di , could be! sounds resonable.
Wonderful frame. Composition, expression, beautiful model
