Quite Continental

Well since I’m already talking about cars, and I haven’t made you look at any old photographs in awhile — not sure what’s wrong with me, but I will definitely investigate — I thought you might enjoy these photos taken by Francis Miller for Life Magazine of an all-girls hot rod club called “The Dragettes” in what appears to be 1950s Kansas City.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find much information on these ladies — which is frustrating because they seem pretty awesome.  I don’t think these pictures were used in the magazine (or at least I couldn’t find the article they correspond to), and the interwebs has not been very forthcoming either.  In any event, I still wanted to share — they’re just so great, from the matching jackets to kissing babies on the dragstrip.
