and away we go...

 

Dagmar was a British TV personality. Someone noticed that the Cadillac pointed bumper guards resembled a part of her anatomy.

It wasn't too long (pun intended) before all the 1948/58 Cadillac, 1955/58 Packard/Clipper and all other bumper guards that came to a point, became known as Dagmar's.

 

hang a flag over her face and go for it in the name of glory for your fellow countrymen ......... at least that's the polite way to repeat what gramp's use to tell me ............ hades we got a contract driver who just got divorced here , names theresa , and i'll be dained if i can tell you what color of eyes she has , or anything other than she's blonde and has some tremendous DAGMARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Piston!!??! What Piston???

 

I thought Dagmar (the woman) was from West Virginia. And compared to what you usually saw on television in the 50s, she was considered to be attractive.

 

I believe you are correct.

There seems to be some folks here who are judging beauty by hair, makeup and lighting of the day, which made women look much different from today's version of beautiful. At least that's mho.

Who wouldn't think these women attractive.


Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Myrna Loy

In the "Post great Pictures" thread on the HAMB there are a bunch of casual pictures of regular women back in the '40's and '50's, it's striking how even with the sometimes weird hairdo's, these women have a wholesomeness missing today. No tattoos or nose rings, either.

 

Any of them will do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

The guy in the suit and cowboy hat has a great view!

 

Looks like J. C. "Aggie" Agajanian, race car owner and promotor (Novi's at Indy for one example), promoted a lot of races here in SoCal.

'Course I was wrong about Dagmar's nationality, but I'm pretty sure this is Aggie.

 

"Aggie Doggie" or "Aggie Daddy?"

 

I wonder what was going through his mind at that time? The thoughts must be very philosophical.

 

It's a tradition...
