Classic Girl History

Another unique feature of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic is its Classic Girls: a trio of beauties who make pre-tournament appearances and are on hand for all the festivities of tournament week. The tradition dates back to 1960 when long-time Classic public relations director Cliff Brown developed the idea of having a Classic Queen to help promote the fledgling tournament. Among the earliest queens were such stars as Debbie Reynolds, Ann Blyth, Jane Powell, Donna Douglas and Jill St. John.
In 1968 (and for the following seven years), the Classic had a Queen plus three Classic girls, making up the Queen's court. Queens during that era included Barbara Eden, singer Gloria Loring and "Wonder Woman" Linda Carter. Three Classic girls have been our ambassadors since 1976.

Each year, dozens of young ladies apply to be Classic Girls and three are selected based on their appearance and personalities. Since Chrysler became the event's title sponsor in 1986, the three Classic Girls are known as "Hope", "Chrysler" and Classic".
