"part of my joy in collecting photographs is to see what groups of similar themes form over time. some images repeat so often as to be truly iconic, none more so than women photographed in front of cars. I find the repeated pairing fascinating: many human subjects seem posed by their proud partners, while others are more insistent on proudly posing themselves. Despite this play of subject and object, the snapshots are often as much portraits of the cars as of the women themselves." ---P.C.
Great collection of pics,women and cars is almost a cliche,these snaps give it a twist.The best is the 2 happy women on the front of the grey 300d M Benz,only about 3000 of this car ever built,I had one in Conn.In my barn is a 71 volvowagon with dual carbs and a 1964 nissan patrol packing a huge in-line 6 cylinder used as snow plow.I'll put up pics of these from P.E.I. the land of Anne of green chevys. appreciated the great pics C. Baker put up from Carp, the place is a car gold mine! Yours,P
