The blonde bombshell was approached by the chain’s founder Ed Droste after winning a bikini pageant.
She agreed to pose up for a series of snaps but didn’t think much of it at the time, according to Fox News.
Austin revealed that her face was plastered on the front of boats and the side of delivery trucks and admitted that the thrill and buzz “never got old”.
The original Hooters girl has shared a throwback snap on Instagram that showed waitresses posing around a jukebox.
She also shared a more recent snap showing 12 staffers congregating around the sound system.
Fans have been left stunned as one said: “Wow, Hooters changed so much since 40 years ago. I still love the service I receive when I visit.”
And, another commented: “They can try but won’t ever replicate those icons.”
Several fans rushed to comment to say they love the pictures.
Austin revealed that her children love the fact that she was known as the first Hooter’s girl.
And, she admitted that she’s “proud” of her achievements while working for the restaurant chain.
She said: “It’s way more than serving wings and wearing shorts.”
Decades later, however, she believes that the serving outfit “doesn’t need her anymore”.
She added: “I can never do that uniform justice.
“There’s too many other girls that could wear it way better than I could (sic).”
Several former Hooters staffers have left fans stunned after they tried on their old attire.
A TikToker, known as Shannon, treated viewers to a spin as she showed off her old uniform.
The tank top and the orange shorts hugged her body to show off her figure.
She claimed her uniform was a “little snug” but she received a lot of love in the comments section.
One claimed: “You could still pass for 25. You look great.”
Another said it would make the perfect costume. “Looks good to me. Can (you) say Halloween costume?”
Shannon replied that her kids would “hate her” if she sported the attire.
Meanwhile, single mom Tawny was inundated with compliments after she dug out her old uniform from her closet.
And, fans were left stunned when retired Hooters staffer Tasha Guess donned her old uniform.
