The House of Chrome imported motorcycle shop. Antique photo… motoladies abound. Can anyone tell me the history of this photo?
These ladies are the Motor Maids of America, and that shop was where their headquarters were set up! Check out my earlier post on Gloria Tramontin, an original motor maid. (Thanks to Tucker for the tip!)
Eight decades of rumbling engines, two-wheel travel, exhaust smoke, and total badassery. Gloria Tramontin Struck has been blazing trails in the world of motorcycles since 1940 as one of the original members of the Motor Maids.
