Women and the automobile over the decades
There has probably always been an almost symbiotic relationship between beautiful cars and elegant or provocative women. Even in the Concours d'Elégance, attractive women joined the beautiful vehicle so that together they outshone everything.
And with the advent of car shows and motor shows, sales and marketing people quickly realized that pretty women could also make average cars more attractive.
Women played an important role in sales brochures and advertising photographs anyway, and this has not changed to this day. What has changed (in part), however, is the appearance and the role model embodied.
And the excesses at the end of the sixties are certainly particularly memorable!
In any case, it is a pleasure to revisit these images from the past. That is why we have created a new feature, which we call Picture Magic. Under this umbrella term, we bring together photographs, articles and documents that have a common context. We started with the topic "Women and cars".
But take a look for yourself, it's incredibly entertaining. Simply follow the linkand then press the "Show others" button to view new selections or click on an image to browse through the entire gallery.
