Front tyres? Why did this Jordan pic cause images of the Tyrrell P34 to flash into my mind...?

Two lovely pairs of wheels there, Richard!

Then of course the well known american sun tan lotion company have made support available in Europe for the last 30 years.

What Jordan?

[RTH]

The one in the middle ;) It is a very old photo there have been several specification changes since then !

[RTH]

Then again corporate identification is always very effective when attached to curvaceous bodywork.

[sterling49]

such outrageous titillation

[Tony Matthews]

I'd forgotten how sexy the F3L was!

Ms. Vaughn is still with us and recently inducted into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame (2007).

WOW, she still gets things flowing.

istr a rather racy story involving a deputy who stopped a speeding road car; AJ Foyt was at the wheel and Linda was riding shotgun. I'll let someone else tell the rest...

While I've never met her face-to-face, I do recall seeing her at any number of races going back all the way to her Miss Hurst Shifter days. For a lady who's darned close to my age, she still looks awfully good.

For all her obvious charms, my impression is that Linda has always been a real down-to-earth Georgia gal who was, and still is, very well-respected among the racing community.

Along those lines, 10 or so years ago Linda was at the Milwaukee CART race. Sunday morning Fr. Phil DeRea, the series Catholic chaplain, always has Mass in a conference trailer. This particular morning I was walking into the trailer when who should be right behind me but Linda Vaughn. She was wearing a signature tight white sequined jump suit with cleavage all the way down to there. As she came into the makeshift chapel she demurely pulled the zipper all the way up to her chin. Must have been a strain on the zipper, but it held all the way through Mass.

Correct me if I am wrong but your pic of the Ford F3L appeared as a centrefold in the restyled Motor Racing magazine during 1968 did it not? There were other such shots during the year but sadly the mag folded soon after.

[David M. Woodhouse]

Back in 1964 I was a young soldier stationed at Ford Ord, and naturally attended the USRRC races at Laguna Seca. During lunch break Linda rode around the track standing on the rear deck of an Oldsmobile convertible and holding on to a 7 ft. high Hurst Shifter for balance. That lovely young woman left a very strong impression on this young single guy, and I recall thinking that "if I had to go to war, that was the part of our way of life worth fighting for" (22 year old guys have a limited concept of the big picture).

Thirty five or so years later I was at one of the Bakersfield Hot Rod Reunions, where Linda was the grand marshall. Sunday morning was very cold and I went into the media trailer to get some hot coffee. Linda and her mother were the only people there, so I approached them and asked if she would sign a book for me. We had a delightful conversation about the Hurst days, and she said that quite a few veterans had told her over the years that she was one of the positive memories of their military days. Her mother was a nice little elderly lady who obviously took pride in her daughter and said that she had made all of Linda's costumes during the Miss Hurst Golden Shifter days. Linda still attends car events in Southern California, and I've never heard anyone say a less than complimentary thing about her.

As has been said Linda was Miss Hurst Shifter and a very good ambassador for the girls who were to come after her in Motor Racing.

Linda Vaughn as seen at CART Race at Elkhart Lake in 1983.

During the week of the Las Vegas Formula 1 car park 'event' (sorry, Grand Prix) in 1982, Salazar and I encountered the good Ms Vaughn at a party somewhere or other. We had a good laugh as she was good company, and hopefully were we too. We all hooked-up again thereafter with the result that Linda, ultimately, became enamoured by Eliseo and - as his resilience towards the fairer sex was somewhat weak - she duly pulled him. The photo Jerry posted could offer-up a couple of clues as to how my flat-mate succumbed to this entrapment...

On the Monday morning following the GP we had to get our flights back to Blighty, and whilst I was all packed-up and ready for the off there was no sign of ESV. Until I received a strange phonecall, that is... [in a hushed voice] "Mate, you have to rescue me - I'm trapped! I'm calling from the phone in the bathroom; I've locked myself in because she won't leave me alone..." And so I duly packed his bags and headed-off to the place of his imprisonment in order that we had half a chance of catching our first flights back home.

'Salad-bar' now rescued, we made our flight to LA, but weren't all that popular with the cab driver as we couldn't afford his tip!

Them were t'days...

Oh dear, and here's me thinking cellulite was a new form of chassis construction.

Happy New Year.

It was a tradition which for quite a time was only maintained by Eddie Jordan

I was at that race also - don't have a tale like yours, certainly - and took a photo of Ms. Vaughn during qualifying. I like the photo except for the fact that Bruce Jenner's arm partially obscured all of Ms. Vaughn's attributes (I was unable to get a better angle). She is just naturally good looking - doesn't need a lot of makeup - and, somewhere, I've got a small collection of photos of her I clipped out of magazines and race programs. She definitely got better looking as time went on and I've always been a big fan. A great ambassadoress of motor racing - great looking and sincerely enthusiastic about the sport.

All this salacious chatter reminds me of Road Atlanta in the early 1970s, when the haute couture see-through blouse, coupled with the fashionable no-bra look, left very little to the imagination...the wet T-shirt was almost modest by comparison. Fond memories of days gone by!

Oddly enough, during the past 30 years of working in the medical business, I've done hundreds of physical exams on female patients with no more emotional involvement than if I were checking the transmission fluid on a '52 Chevy. Surprising how one can disassociate one's emotions like that.

While not the same quality bodywork as I've seen elsewhere on this thread.
It makes me happy.
