When I was young these cars were often owned by girls, is that untrue today?

I like to think it takes a secure person to own a Thing. One that is subtle "cool" in their own right. One that doesn't have time or need to win the affection of uber-hot models.

At least that's what I tell myself as I cry to sleep each night... Wink

the Thing has been my dream car for almost my entire life and, my father aside, when I bought it everyone immediately questioned the purchase and chastized me for buying such a disgusting car that needed work (well, a new paint job anyway)... I'm fine with that though

my gf (who's into 50's American classics) even questioned it, but once I brought up the fact that we can drive down the shore with the top and windows off she changed her mind...

when the weather gets nicer I might even be able to get her to pose with the car, but we'll see what happens Wink

Only in Europe! You'll never see those type of pictures being taken at a car show in the States... Or have I been going to the wrong car shows?!

I've seen models walking through car shows selling modelling services directly at the show.

She looks hot!

I'm plotting my photo shoot(s) for this summer. I've one friend who's a babe, an ex model, a nudist, and likes VWs, and another friend who's a great photographer and she doesn't mind helping me with racey pics.

Gotta get my car running first... come on CIP, ship my order!! Wink

well her top must have fallen off in the pic I found, but then again I don't think I was supposed to find that pic Smile

I was seriously just looking through to look at other cars and then realized "hey wait, her bra is off in this one"

btw, was that teal color ever a factory color? I've seen quite a few painted like that (and I don't mean the white with teal acapulco ones)
