Saw this car at the NHRA Reunion in Epping NH this Sept.

 

Hey look, two cars with IRS.

 

She has to be wearing a corset. No way her waist is that small.

 

Who cares

 

No corset....her waist WAS that small. Here she is without wearing anything covering her waist.....

 

Wow it was crazy the strip was just wild

 

Nice looking seat.

 

RIP Scot Carpenter... only John Glenn is left now from the original seven Mercury astronauts.

Not saying she doesn't have a small waist but, big boobs, big hips and a big booty helps the illusion.

 

Just google her bio----Amazing pics of her career!

 

Betty Brosmer had a natural waist size of 17 1/2" (Elizabeth Taylor's was 19" pre-kids), an 18" waist during the Civil War days was considered the standard to achieve via corset, her waist size was definitely not the norm.

 

Hey look, two suspension donors for early '70s street rods.

 

Thanks 327-365HP I'm looking at the picture and saying "where do I know that car from" your right and it was cool.
