Hot Rod is very much an art form. It has to do with restoration of old vehicles, so it’s easy to see why the artists are usually male. And where there’s a male hub, there are always sexy ladies.
Most articles don’t elaborate on the standard Wikipidia article. I’d like to do something a little different, to contribute to the flood of eulogious articles and take a look at this fascinating 1950’s sexual icon.
Pinups of the 50’s didn’t just spring out of midair. These images reflect their times. (as all art does.) So I set out to find authentic images that will shed light on pinup art.
Some say that pinups were a 40’s-50’s fad, which disappeared with the sexual revolution. I believe pinups, in their sensual yet none reviling form, are alive and kicking.
