Like a rolling stone -- or a roaring race car -- legendary pageant photographer Joe Whiteko has covered a lot of ground in his pursuit of beauty. Most recently, he attended the acclaimed auto shows in New York, Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

Auto shows? You thought a connoisseur of glamour like Whiteko only showed up at pageants and model searches.

Think again. There's plenty of beauty to be found on four wheels. Cars can be so shiny, so sleek, so alluring that you almost fall in love with them. Haven't you ever called a car "sexy" or given it a loving little nickname? Tell the truth.

But there's more. If you've ever been to a huge exhibition hall full of the newest, most enticing cars, you remember how hard it was to keep your eye on the bumpers. There were beautiful women everywhere!

Thanks to a happy combination of chemistry, physics and economics, anywhere there are lots of spectacular cars, there are spectacular women. At auto shows, many of these women are models, and many are beauty queens. And no beauty queen looks better than when she's in the sights of Whiteko.

Gorgeous women. Marvelous cars. All you need is a key. And it's called PNB.
