LeMay-America’s Car Museum in Tacoma was the scene of a huge pre-opening bash Friday night. Hundreds of guests, many of them dressed in period outfits from the Great Gatsby era to the 1950s and more contemporary, hobnobbed and visited around hundreds of perfectly polished cars, as perfectly coiffed “cigarette girls,” looking like pinups with their neck-strap trays of cigars, slipped carefully between tables, offering "smokes" and raffle tickets.
