Lady Drivers

[jpsmit]

Tony, I love your pictures featuring lady drivers — I have a question. The cars featured seem to be from the twenties. Perhaps someone in the Austin sales promotion dept thought to capitalize on the idea of a baby Austin with all the associated connections though I also detect a strong appeal to the emancipated young lady looking for relative freedom and adventure.
Now my question — do the thirties cars, Ruby onwards, also feature the ladies or was that more of an age predominantly featuring men in advertisements?

I cannot say anything about the advertisements but, it is my understanding that my car - boat tail tourer - was marketed to ladies to drive to the club as a second car.
