Album Cover Challenge

Herb Albert's Tijuana Brass - Whipped Cream & Other Delights. Modeling for The Ford Agency, Dolores Erickson was married and 28-years-old at the time. She had known Peter Whorf from working with him previously on other album covers and he was engaged to Erickson’s best friend. When she got the call from Whorf to do the album cover, she came to his garage which had been converted to a photography studio and the cover was shot in one day. Although Erickson appears not to be wearing anything, she had been wrapped in cotton and had on a bikini underneath all the “cream.” She was also three months pregnant at the time. Photographer and cover designer Whorf did a masterful job at hiding Erickson’s pregnancy. One problem: they could not use whipped cream because it kept sliding off. The solution? Shaving cream which adhered better to Erickson’s body. The only bit of whipped cream is on her head and fingers. stuffnobodycaresabout.com/2012/01/27/outtake-photos-from-the-sexiest-album-cover-of-the-1960s

The Golden Submarine was an early twentieth century streamlined race car designed and built in 1917 by Fred Offenhauser and Harry A. Miller for Barney Oldfield. AutoWeek said that the vehicle brought Miller "nationwide prominence as a race-car builder" High Bid of $ 18,000 Four-cylinder engine Twin carburetors Built by Charles Glick Concealed headlights Bucket-style seats Chrome wire wheels Polished aluminum radiator shell Moto-meter Leather hood straps Single center exhaust Racing great Barney Oldfield commissioned the construction of the original Golden Submarine by engineer extraordinaire, Harry Miller in 1917. With the late-1990s, Charles Glick became involved with building cars for the Great Race. As luck would have it, he met Dale Bell, a Great Race competitor, who later commissioned Mr. Glick to build this Golden Submarine replica. It incorporates an inline four-cylinder engine with twin carburetors. Glick made modifications such as concealed headlights and turn signals and added cockpit insulation. There is a single door on the right side of the car, offset bucket-style seating for two, the famous golden finish, along with chrome wire wheels, polished aluminum radiator shell, moto-meter, leather hood straps, knock-off hubs and wire mesh in the majority of windows.
