Dan Gurney, Car and Driver Candidate for President, 1964
01
Artifact Overview
In 1964, Car and Driver launched a tongue-in-cheek campaign supporting race driver Dan Gurney for President of the United States. No other candidate, the magazine wrote, represented the needs of the enthusiast driver. Throughout that summer and fall, "Dan Gurney for President" editorials and advertisements appeared in each issue and, for $1, readers could mail-order Gurney bumper stickers and buttons.
