Hurst, Mopar, and Linda Vaughan?

[Ghoste]

Of the many promotional things Linda Vaughan did for Hurst, does anyone know if she did anything special for the Mopar projects?  I can understand her not doing anything with the Hemi Darts and Barracudas since that kind of fell outside of her area but did she do anything with the Hurst Chrysler 300?  Live appearances, photo shoots, anything?  I cannot recall any material where Hurst used her to promote something they did with Chrysler.

Yup standing proud and firm on the trunk of a ragtop C body...next to a 7 foot shifter!

Cool!
They still managed to squeeze a GM into the background but I suppose the background is where they belong.

If she only knew all the great times we had when I was 15.

She knows...She knows...She didn't stand out there in that swimsuit for nuthin'!! Young guys were buying Hurst shifters and didn't even HAVE a 4-speed!

[b5blue]

Heck I didn't even have a car!

  Me too brother - me too!

How about the Hemi Under Glass - That was a Hurst/Mopar thing.

True, I'll check google..

She traveled all over the south east with this car during the 70's. I saw her at Holiday in Birmingham AL, Warner-Robins GA, Gainsville FL, Orland FL, and Bradenton FL from 76 to 81.

took me a while to find but both of these got into the wrong file...

[Ghoste]

One is an Olds and the other doesn't have Linda.  Kind of a stretch to make the Mopar/Vaughan connection there isn't it Brock?

oh my, i need a rag................................

[Brock Samson]

i know it's a 442 and i know it's dandy dick - i was just looking for her pic and it took me quite some time to dig it up,..
and, since i was on this thread at the time i decided to share them both anyhow,..  so shoot me. 
i have many more pics of her on a memory stick, but i'm kinda' scared to go looking cause these pictures can use up an entire day quite easy...
I love that popcicle pic...   

[mauve66]

i thought the olds hurst car was a Tornado, called the Hairy Olds, or is that pic something else??

[Ghoste]

Yeah, it was the Toronado with an engine at each end that they used to haul around.  And Brockie, I would never shoot you buddy.  Yank your chain every once in a while maybe but never shoot you.

Glad Tiger Woods wasn't born then.

Please let me know the story of Linda Vaughan

Per

[b5blue]

She was hired to be a company "fluff" girl to advertise for Hurst Shifters. She is an American Icon. (try Wicki or Google) 

[maxwellwedge]

She was a true pro -  Remembered the name of absolutely everyone she ever met. I would say UnCanny but it doesn't work here!
