Depending on how old you are, you may have at some time long ago entered your Dad’s or your Grandad’s garage and ogled his calendar which featured illustrated pictures of sexy women. Those images were sure to increase the hormonal heat of a young boy.

Pinup girls had a resounding popularity during and after WWII. Many of the soldiers planes and other vehicles had a hand-drawn and painted babe decorating the side. Calendars and posters adorned the confines of many a man’s garage, shed or basement workshop for years.

Pinups have been around for a very long time but with the popularity and ubiquity of the Internet may have almost been forgotten. For today’s feature, we’d like to show off some old-time illustrated pinups for your enjoyment. At a later date we may feature pinup photos of the most popular ladies of the era. For now, have a look at our pinup gallery coming up next.
