Linda Vaughn, a native of Dalton, Georgia, became internationally known as “Miss Hurst Shifter” in the 1960s, and continues to this day to be a grand ambassador for the sport on all levels. She’s also a successful businesswoman, who now resides in California.

Perhaps the most photographed personality in automotive and motorsports history, Linda Vaughn has entertained fans and has been a premier marketer of automotive goods for more than 55 years.

From her first days as Miss Atlanta Raceway, coming of age while representing Hurst, through her annual appearances at America’s top automotive and racing events, Linda continues to engage fans, drawing long lines whenever she makes an appearance.

At her peak, Linda attended more than 100 events annually, year after year. The only entity that’s probably seen as many events as Linda is Goodyear!
