"Jungle Pam" Hardy, sweetheart of the dragstrip

Few things are as satisfying as a trip down memory lane -- and it's even better when you find something you didn't notice before. Because as Ferris Bueller said -- life moves pretty fast. Here are dozens of pictures of celebrities and remarkable people of yesteryear in all their beautiful, vintage glory. The glamour, the fashions, the hair -- whether classically elegant, effortlessly cool, or interestingly tacky, we shall not see their like again. Here's to the movie stars who were larger than life, here's to the rock stars who lived on the edge, here's to the comedians who still make us smile, here's to the bit players who had those moments of glory that changed their lives forever. It's all good, it's all groovy, and the rest is history.

When "Jungle Jim" Lieberman, drag racing's top showman, spotted young Pam Hardy in West Chester, Pennsylvania, he knew he had to find a place for her on his team. It was 1972, Pam was just about to graduate from high school, and she knew nothing about the sport of drag racing. Liberman didn't care; he and his crew could show her the ropes -- Liberman saw a star quality in her figure, spirit and beaming smile, and those are things you can't teach. Much to the delight of race fans, "Jungle Pam" was soon a regular presence on the track, helping Liberman's team care for his Chevy funny car. Clad in tight tops and cutoff jean shorts (today known as "Daisy Dukes"), she was just the eye-catching asset Jungle Jim had wanted, cementing his reputation as the most entertaining racer in the sport.
