Just Who Was the Mud Flap Girl???

The mudflap girl is an iconic silhouette of a woman with an hourglass body shape, sitting, leaning back on her hands, with her hair being blown in the wind. The icon is typically found on mudflaps, clothing, and other items associated with trucking in the United States. The image is sometimes also known as trucker lady or seated lady.

This famous design was created in the 1970s by Bill Zinda of Wiz Enterprises in Long Beach, California, to promote his line of truck and auto accessories. It was modeled on Leta Laroe, a famous exotic dancer at the time.

You guys will love this.

I have an 86' 951 that came with the center refelctor between the tail lights. (day I brought it home)





Since this was to be a track car I took it off.....look what I found underneath. (I knew it had been the victim of a bad paint job, but WOW!)

During surgical residency I had an female attending/professor who would dress her laparoscopic incisions with gauze cut into some girly shape, like a heart. For the male patients, I always wanted to cut the gauze into the shape of the mud flap girl. Sadly my gauze-cutting skills aren't so good, so I never followed through. She also might have crushed me like a grape if I tried something like that on one of her patients.

You know it was a cheap paint job when they can't even peal off the mud flap girl stickers.

Have you guys seen Raquel Welch lately. I dunno how old that woman is, but she's considerably older than I am (52), and she's just about as HOT as any woman alive.
