Linda Vaughn Ms Hurst Golden Shifter

If you are a car guy (or gal), you most likely know of and likely have met Ms Linda Vaughn. Arguably, she is better known than the Hurst Shifter she has promoted for years. I have met her on several occasions over the years, and she has never been anything but outstanding, personable, professional, and beautiful.

Most of us likely remember her standing on the trunk of a Hurst Olds holding on to a gigantic Hurst Shifter. In 1969, she was just coming into the height of her fame. The article and photo below are taken from the 1969 Program for the 1969 Talladega 500 race. Her mother, who often traveled with her, made her sexy but always professional attire.

She is a real car gal. It has been well over 55 years since this photo was taken, making her a senior citizen like many of us. Her draw at any appearance remains significant.

I grew up and lived in Iowa for a good portion of my life before moving to Southern California. After 20+ years we now live outside Nashville Tennessee. I have been into cars since I was old enough to remember. I don't have a brand loyalty although I do prefer American Muscle especially the 1969/1970 NASCAR Aero Cars. (Check out our other web site at www.TalladegaSpoilerRegistry.com site) As long as it has four wheels and an engine I get excited. Few men are lucky enough to be able to share their passion for cars with the woman they love. Fortunately, my wife, Katriana, is also a gear head and many of our activities revolve around the cars. We have a small collection that includes at least one car from each of the Big Three. It includes a Best of Show winner, a survivor, a driver with lots of patina and several others. Katrina prefers all original cars while I like to modify them so we have a few of each. When we aren't playing with cars we are out working with or showing our miniature donkeys.
