Pinups are part of the classic car show for a reason: The coolest cars and the hottest retro looks go hand in hand. Pinup models are masters of their craft in the same way that master builders are, creating epic looks and tableaux to showcase their style. Enjoy these amazing, talented models and the artists who brought their visions to life!
We want to give special thanks to promoter and model Tonya Kay and photographer Mitzi Valenzuela for the incredible work they do and for sharing these photos with our audience.

All sizes , shapes and colors – how can you NOT love pinup! Her love of cars is reflected in that as well. These days she can be found building her 1954 Studebaker Commander from her one car garage. This pinup loves creating beautiful vintage hot rods and celebrating the pinup culture – the best of both worlds
