    Music by Paul McCartney. Song is "Style, Style" (CD single from the LP "Off The Ground).
    Linda Vaughn was the spokesperson for Hurst Performance Products in the 1960's as well as promoting Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Chrysler. She's a fan favorite at the Indy 500, NASCAR, and NHRA tracks, and Linda later went on to appear at Oldsmobile and Pontiac car shows. Linda never appeared to have an "off" day, a tremendously gracious and positive person, she had the same enthusiasm appearing at her first race in the 1960's as she did in the 2000's.

    All of a sudden, I feel compelled to buy a Hurst Shifter

    Some of the greatest compliments my wife ever got were the times we were at an Olds show and people kept asking my wife to pose for photos. It was kinda normal but they wanted her in or beside an Olds with Hurst shifter.
    Several said "well she is Linda Vaughn!"
    Other times people told my wife, Dollie, she looked a lot like Dolly!
    I miss her so much. She attended every car and bike event I went to for 64 years.
    Thanks for the memories.

    I wish I could time travel back to that time .
    The late 1960’s and early 1970’s was the best times .
    She had 40 Double D’S

    What times! I had the luck to live in the US in the late ‘70s and it was super supercool....people were friendly, there was positive excitement for anything, work was rally relaxed and very well paid in relative terms to prices, there was almost no violence and the only fighting sport was boxing and clearly fake wrestling shows. People in general were just very tolerant to anything, police would easily close an eye on things when there was nobody harmed physically. Neighbors would randomly organize barbecues in their back yards for fun and anybody could just show up with a bottle or some things to cook...aahh so nice.

    She came to my 7th grade class in Warminster to give a presentation on the company, dressed in that silly gold suit. It was the major highlight of my junior high career.

    Met up with Linda at the Streamline in Daytona last week. She still has it. What a great Lady. She did as much as any racer to promote the sport.

    Yep, gracious to this very day. And she never forgot my name. I saw her from time to time in my travels during the 80s. Had lunch with her once at Comp Spec Trade Show as we discussed my small modeling agency I had founded mainly because of knowing her. That was way cool :-) She may have accumulated more air miles than anyone else alive!

    Linda Vaughn was Miss Atlanta and the repaid model herself in America in the 70's and Horst perfarmec included this beautiful lady in her advertisements, as Horst earned twenty million a year to afford this beautiful beauty!

    I understand she's had some recent health issues,but she is still somewhat active in the Automotive performance industry,plus she attends a lot of the Oldsmobile Club of America and the Hurst/Olds national events. Never had the good fortune to have met her,but know several folks who have,I'm told she's actually quite a nice lady,and is actually quite intelligent?

    Have you noticed that there's one thing them girls all have in common? They all have gargantuan chee-chees. I suppose it was to promote grabbing your shifters.
