That must have been the hairstyle of the day, they all have it.

Here are 2 other women working on cars from that time period.
You'll recognize the first one, because she's in the picture of the 4 women we're discussing.
Although the caption says she's laying under the car, I think Grace is actually working on the engine of the car in both pictures.

This is her, Grace Wagner.
Here is a shot of a woman and her work shoes, they did wear heels.

They are for real HD...





BTW here is a link with great pics from that period, including the ones I've posted.

Well, at least ya'll stopped talking about cars.

:biggrin:

We were talking about women AND cars.
So we diversified the conversation. ;)

The Mark II is a nice car, but I'm just stuck on the III.
Can't say why, but I definitely don't want the IV. A neighbor had one when I was a teen, and in the carpool with her 2 sons. Dern thing broke down on an icy winter day, because the woman was running EVERYTHING in the car, and overloaded the alternator. My 2 pals and I had to push that worthless piece of crap uphill (on the ice), and then go back and get the car. :D Kidding, I really liked that lady (RIP). The car was underpowered and poorly engineered, but the III is not.

I dunno about you and your 70s fascinations. lol lol I can see you crusing that Mark III wearing a leisure suit with a huge butterfly collar, high heeled spectators shoes and a big cheesy porn moustache. :rofl: Yes, I can see it now:

Mae, cars have been part of my life since I got my first matchbox toy.
I've since turned it into a career.
If James didn't keep answering me, I wouldn't keep talking about cars. ;)
Since this is the excessive posting thread, how about the weather?
Still hot in TX I see. Lovely, when I visit the inlaws in a few months, I'll probably have to take shorts with me, and keep the AC on.
BTW James, I'd either have an 8 track of Led Zeppelin's Houses Of The Holy, or CCR's Greatest Hits in the deck.
