1957 - Deanna Briggs, the future Mrs. Jack O'Brien, as Miss Transportation 1957 in Dade County

Miami, Florida


Thank you to Jumpin' Jack O'Brien for contributing this image. Jumpin' Jack says: "Don, in honor of National Transportation Week (May 12-18, 1957) it was customary to select Miss Transportation from the thousands of beauties who constantly paraded Collins Avenue during all daylight hours. I have no idea who the two gentlemen are, but I recognize the Miami background picture and, of course, Deanna Briggs, who was one of Coronet Model Agencies' top models and instructors at their modeling school at the time. 1957 was a good year for Deanna, she was also the Airboat Queen. She was so busy modeling that she had to have transportation and being Miss Transportation and Airboat Queen opened up eighteen wheelers and airboats for her to ride between jobs...what more could she have needed?"

You could be right and maybe someone else will chime in. He was a very well-liked mayor who passed away at such an early age.
