Playboy Photographer Wants Your Car, He'll Bring The Girls

Playboy photographer Scott Hooper (of “Sex and the Automobile” fame) is planning a major oeuvre, a big coffee table book of sexy cars and sexy ladies, planned to be “the culmination of Hooper’s lifelong love of gorgeous women and exquisite cars.” Being in Las Vegas and being known in the business, Hooper has no shortage of gorgeous women. He has a shortage of sexy cars. And this is where you come in.

Hooper approached TTAC to help him locate America’s most sexy cars, to be paired with America’s most sexy ladies. Whether you have a 1937 Talbot Lago in your garage, or a super sexy electrifying Leaf, Hooper would love to drape his ladies over it. The car would be brought to Hooper’s secure studio in Las Vegas and would spend a few days there, before it will be immortalized in a book that sometimes is called “AutoErotica”, sometimes “The book of curves.” If you want your car to star in that book, check out this website. Producer Theresa Holmes’ email and phone number is at the bottom of the page.

Oh, and let us know how it worked out.

    Hmm, not sure what caliber of woman would go on the hood of the Land Cruiser. The Miata seems a natural fit to have Bridget the Midget draped over though.

    I'd pay good money for a book of women draped over some of the fine automobiles photographed in Murilee Martin's work though..."Here's Kim Kardashian draped over...what is that...ah yes, a well picked over Chrysler Cordoba".

  • Dartman EBFlex will soon be able to buy his preferred brand!
  • Mebgardner I owned 4 different Z cars beginning with a 1970 model. I could already row'em before buying the first one. They were light, fast, well powered, RWD, good suspenders, and I loved working on them myself when needed. Affordable and great styling, too. On the flip side, parts were expensive and mostly only available in a dealers parts dept. I could live with those same attributes today, but those days are gone long gone. Safety Regulations and Import Regulations, while good things, will not allow for these car attributes at the price point I bought them at.I think I will go shop a GT-R.
  • Lou_BC Honda plans on investing 15 billion CAD. It appears that the Ontario government and Federal government will provide tax breaks and infrastructure upgrades to the tune of 5 billion CAD. This will cover all manufacturing including a battery plant. Honda feels they'll save 20% on production costs having it all localized and in house.As @ Analoggrotto pointed out, another brilliant TTAC press release.
  • 28-Cars-Later "Its cautious approach, which, along with Toyota’s, was criticized for being too slow, is now proving prescient"A little off topic, but where are these critics today and why aren't they being shamed? Why are their lunkheaded comments being memory holed? 'Who&nbsp;controls the past&nbsp;controls the future. Who controls the present&nbsp;controls the past.' -Orwell, 1984
  • Tane94 A CVT is not the kiss of death but Nissan erred in putting CVTs in vehicles that should have had conventional automatics. Glad to see the Murano is FINALLY being redesigned. Nostalgia is great but please drop the Z car -- its ultra-low sales volume does not merit continued production. Redirect the $$$ into small and midsize CUVs/SUVs.
