Is there not a rule that a picture of a Hurst vehicle must also have Linda Vaughn present. ---

Linda was working the Hurst booth at a trade show put on by a performance parts supplier in the Northwest around 1994. Our instructor at the voc-tech took us on a field trip. ---

Back to the car for a second. I really dislike the Hurst decal. BTW, my mother had a 1970 Chrysler, but lowest trim line, 4-door sedan, 2BBL 383. ---

I just remembered that a co-worker owned a late '70s New Yorker station wagon with the 440 V8. When I asked him about its power, his response was, “It can pass _anything_… except a gas station”. 😏 ---

Linda’s most recent years have been a bit rough, she’s had a bunch of cardiac issues. But she’s still gorgeous. ---

A couple of Chrysler’s concept cars from 1953: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/6/0/605eba3cbe5fd6c882b97275c0936972c2e27fe6.jpeg) The d’Elegance still exists, and is believed to have been copied for the body design of the VW Karmann-Ghia.
