The photo was taken on the backlot of 20th Century-Fox in Los Angeles by Earl Theisen. Not that anybody cares but the Pontiac Chieftain behind her is a 1950 model and is hers.
Roughly half the adults on the planet have two each which means there is about one fully developed boob for every adult on the planet. Boobs are not really that special...except they actually kind of are.
I end with saying that boobs are still pretty special, despite being ubiquitous. They still shouldn't be worshipped the way some people seem to do. Grow the fuck up!
I comprehend quite well. I’d point out that your statement was just idiotic, but you’re a very sensitive one so perhaps I won’t. Let’s make a deal though. I’ll grow up if you learn to accept that sometimes you have an idiotic opinion and people will point that out. Yeah?
Well when I said grow up, I was talking about the people who are boob obsessed, not you, but whatever.
I know full well that I can be wrong about stuff. There are way too many examples for me to ignore. However, when you start out by completely missing my point and calling me dumb, I'll react to that. Even if it's a throwaway comment about a completely trivial subject. I couldn't care less that you think I'm dumb. I do care that I may not have made my point clearly. I looks like it's more a case of you being smarter than everyone and really wanting to show it off, so go ahead and you do you.
I never said you were dumb. I said your point was dumb. Your point was that half the population has breasts so they may not be special. I pointed out that’s a dumb argument and gave an example of the glorious backside which is even more common yet is still fantastic. The commonality of something doesn’t diminish its beauty.
Oh, heheh! Don’t know much about cars, especially not old cars. I just thought it looks like Doc Hudson. One of my little nephews is a Cars nut, I babysit him sometimes and I noticed Doc Hudson is one of his faves. He carries it around in his little hand everywhere.
This sub has always been a cringfest, but now every day is the same thing. Just some scantily clad woman and a bunch of super clever guys making the same joke about not noticing the background car/bus/etc.
A timeless slice of early-’50s Hollywood glamour classic styling, effortless confidence, and Detroit chrome coming together in one unforgettable moment. The contrast between the rugged Pontiac and her soft, luminous presence perfectly captures the era’s mix of strength and sensuality.
I was at an event at the Max Factor Hollywood Museum years ago and on a few columns, they had picture of Marilyn and men would stop and stare in wonder at each photo.
Modern gasoline-powered* cars are very powerful relative to previous decades. Even ‘base’ cars have higher horsepower than ‘muscle cars’ used to have. Modern engineering has made amazing progress into making engines more powerful and extremely efficient.
2025 Toyota Camry, base: 225 hp
1986 Mustang v8: 200 hp
1980 Camaro v8: 190 hp
(*Electric cars are a whole ‘nother tier. Tesla S Plaid has over 1,000 hp. 0-60 in less than 2 seconds. The competition for the most power is over, EVs won)
I am 30, and I have seen clips of Marilyn in short clips and random photo mags and I never really understood the appeal. She was magazine pretty for her time. Today, however, I have learned I have just never seen a photo outside of magazine. She is absolutely fucking beautiful.
Whenever I hear someone say they don't understand the hype around Marilyn, I tell them to watch the movie "Some Like it Hot".
It's a very funny movie, and she is gorgeous in it.
I think it is important to understand beauty standards change dramatically. I grew up in a place where I knew her name saw clips but never really saw her if that makes sense.
Everyone's attraction is also different as well. She is stunning in this image though.
This image radiates classic postwar Americana a moment where optimism, style, and celebrity culture intersect. The scene feels candid yet composed: sunlit curves of polished chrome, a weathered industrial backdrop, and a figure whose relaxed posture and playful confidence draw the eye instantly. There’s a striking contrast between softness and strength delicate fabrics against solid steel, casual ease set before a gritty, working-world setting.
Nice it is funny how each generation thinks the next generation wear cloths that reveal too much. As if they forgot how small some of their cloths were. just saying
For just a second I thought I saw boobs, I admit it.
Probably because the colorization made her top look skin colored. Here is the original black and white image:

there's a car in that photo?
Yup. One that she paid $2729.69 for:

That would be about $37,000 now accounting for inflation.
$37,000 damn
Wonder how much a mint-condition car like that is worth in 2025.
Allegedly
Why is there a guy with something (kinda-sorta) gift wrapped, but he's holding it like it's a cat?
I believe it is a cat:

Because, cats.
There’s a guy in that photo?
🤔 her outfit maybe? Like maybe she took off her dress and put on a coat for the shot 🧐
I prefer it to be a cat tho 🥰
Yeah, that was a choice to make the top and the bottom different colors.
If she leaned on me like that, my hood would be bulging too.
Just Google her boobs lol, they aren't some mysterious never shown items.
Roughly half the adults on the planet have two each which means there is about one fully developed boob for every adult on the planet. Boobs are not really that special...except they actually kind of are.
That’s dumb. Every human being in history has an ass but it doesn’t mean I won’t notice every sexy shapely female ass whenever I see one.
Reading comprehension much?
I end with saying that boobs are still pretty special, despite being ubiquitous. They still shouldn't be worshipped the way some people seem to do. Grow the fuck up!

I hate people that post this BS. There is nothing wrong with getting sexually aroused by a beautiful woman or man.
Oh lord
I pulled a neck muscle.
Neck.
The old kink in the neck.
Nice curves, would ride all night. Woman's fine, too.
Thankfully I'm not the only weirdo here. Marilyn is great but look at that car
Is the Pontiac Chieftain the Doc Hudson of Cars?
Uh… Well… Doc Hudson was a Hudson Hornet, specifically a 51 model.
Oh, heheh! Don’t know much about cars, especially not old cars. I just thought it looks like Doc Hudson. One of my little nephews is a Cars nut, I babysit him sometimes and I noticed Doc Hudson is one of his faves. He carries it around in his little hand everywhere.
Hi 👋
Lmao that’s a straight up pinto
I was gonna say is that the straight eight?
It is now ...
Just a shame about her poor personal hygiene, she rarely showered and stunk.
Fabulous Hudson hornet
Fly like a Cadillac, sting like a Beemer
A 25-year-old Marilyn Monroe, who was an emerging Hollywood star at the time, on the cusp of superstardom.
Way to make me feel useless.
What an absolute doll of a woman!
You can say that again. Hubba hubba.
yes bubba
She was ahead of her time.
I didn’t know which is hotter , Marilyn or the Chieftain
I'm feeling funny things about both of them.
I know.
The other thing I appreciate about this pic is that there isn’t a piercing or tattoo in sight. . .

Welcome to Reddit😒
Is there a car in the photo? Must have missed it.
Such an old fashioned looking car and a modern looking woman.
Pontiac Chieftain with Marilyn Monroe in 1951.
Such a gorgeous woman, she makes it look so effortless
Double blink to confirm , yup confirm
Goddess of goddesses
Iconic elegance and confidence captured in a moment where classic beauty meets American automotive pride.
Look at those curves! And Marilyn's beautiful too.

Gorgeous body, curves in all the right places. You can tell she'd be a fun ride.
Wait, there's a woman in this picture?
[removed]
Oh how times have changed .
Reppin the red heads
I’ll take two
Nice☺️
That's quite a chassis!
That's quite a chassis!
That’s Cynthia.
Sexy photo
[deleted]
For some reason her face looks different here than I remember
High Renaissance Man, final line.
Do pretty
Two Nice grilles.
Real women meet real men.
I wish I was that fender
She was absolutely beautiful
mmm
Heck, YEAH!!!
There's a car?
That pic gives me a Pontiac Chieftain!!!
Ummmmm…..
🪵
I was at an event at the Max Factor Hollywood Museum years ago and on a few columns, they had picture of Marilyn and men would stop and stare in wonder at each photo.
Perfect
This pic really shows off why people when crazy for her. Other than the hair and makeup she exceeds even today’s exaggerated beauty standards
What Pontiac Chieftain? 🤔
https://i.redd.it/0sz73mcde97g1.gif
Think she's mid licking her lips.
What a Beauty!! Marilyn Monroe wasn't so bad either.
We give you two horses if you throw in the car.
Can I upvote Marilyn but not Pontiac?
Back in the Day when Hood ornaments had class.
Headlights
Damn 🥵🔥
She was born in such a shitty era.
It’s why she could never fit in it
Just saying
Fame didn’t ruin her; exploitation and a lack of protection did. Her story mirrors many women who were taken advantage of.

Had fun with this one while back.
Pure 1950s allure effortless confidence, classic curves, and gleaming chrome. A perfect snapshot of Hollywood glamour meeting American horsepower.

She made being beautiful seem effortless.
Jumpin Jesus. She looks amazing in this photo.
Are there more pictures of her ?
I'm sorry, I'm still not convinced there's a car in this picture.
Look at the curves on that beauty!
I wonder what Arthur Miller ever saw in her...
She had that cool car!
Nice headlights.
Giving a choice, (2025) choose: the car or the dame? I choose the car.
Runs longer
She's top tear, but that car. God dam!
Sorry dear.
So hot jfk and rfk were tag teaming dat ass

Good ol’ butterface!
Nice vehicle!
I’ll take the pair!
THIS is what Heaven looks like. When I die, this is what I want the pearly gates open to. (No relatives please. Thank you.)

Modern day Kate Upton
Two well built beautiful machines. Sad what happened to her.
❤️🔥
There’s a car in the photo?
Classic beauty
Is Doc from the Cars movie a Chieftain?
Are you honestly trying to tell me that there is a car in the photo?
Wow
Doc Hudson!!! 🤔
What a sexy picture
WOW!😍
Nice car.
r/pontiac
Damn, showing naval in 1951. They must have went wild. Edit: you couldn't show navals on TV until the 60s.
even the car has a boner
Isn't that the car in Cars movie?
Looking at the thumbnail...
"Amazing nipple-work for the phot-oh"
"There is an abused woman who killed herself. "
There’s a car in this picture?
More like Marilyn Man GODDAMN
JFK: get rid of her.
Both had a lot of miles
Timeless beauty and style, both in her and the car.
Marilyn in panties. What more can a guy ask for?
Marilyn without, but I'll agree with you instead and not be a pig about it.
A clothes pin for the stank. She rarely bathed.
What pontiac chieftan?!🥵🤤😍

Nice it is funny how each generation thinks the next generation wear cloths that reveal too much. As if they forgot how small some of their cloths were. just saying
Excellent ride right there.
There’s a car in the background??? Wow didn’t even see it at first!
Fart_noises*
Before ozempic epidemic.
She is blocking the view.
Who is she?
I see a 1950’s Hooker when I see Marilyn Monroe. Ugh
Fun fact she was Mexican
the obsession with this bimbo is amazing. I keep muting and/or blocking and she still shows up in ,my feed. Damn
She wrecked a marriage. Icky
She's actually mid. Imagine
