I know my opinion probably does not count, but I think Nikki is prettiest one in that photo. She has a beautiful face! She looks like a brunette Barbie doll. (again, nothing against Linda! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif)

A wise old eye doctor (he was in his 70's) I worked with years ago once told me that "guys will always look at the face first". http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif Not sure if this is true or he was just trying to make me feel better. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

It somehow feels like I'm cheating on sweet Linda...but yummmm, I can't help but agree too!.

And considering how Linda's obviously worthy of 'survivor status' (sorry Dave Burroughs), I wonder how Nikki's held up...any recent pics of her?.

She's on the far left side in this pic.

[jl8z28]

the girl second on the left I think is Shelly Harmon, she went with one of the brothers that owned a Exon station down the street from me. one night she was pumping gas in those white boots and hot pants, and boy did she look nice.

I quite doubt that is the same Nikki Phillips. The lovely Nikki Phillips I'm thinking of would be closer to 58 years old, not 24.

Here is a quote from the 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty web site.

[ QUOTE ]
<font color="red">She’s modelling’s current “it” girl and the face of ACP’s 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty. At just 24, Nikki Phillips has ten years of super-modelling behind her, having strolled the runway for Dior, Armani and Dolce &amp; Gabbana, hosted TV shows and appeared in Hollywood movies. </font>

Just saw this on another site, dated today, 7/27/2011

&quot;From: Traci Hrudka

Linda Vaughn is back in Mission hospital in Laguna Bch in the ICU unit from complications of low sodium and potassium. Her Pancreas is being checked as it is inflammed causing abdonimal spasms and discomfort. Her spirits are good but this time she is nervous as the Doctor said that if she didnt come in when she did she might not have lived. Please send your prayers and well wishes. I will give updates as I get them.&quot;

[mockingbird812]

Hang in there Linda, we are all pulling for you - thanks for the update DC!

[Xplantdad]

The doc is right. Low sodium and postassium can cause the heart muscle to beat improperly...nothing to mess with! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Feel better Linda...

[ORIGLS6]

Again, from the H.A.M.B.

I found an interesting service the Mission Hospital provides. You can send Linda a Get Well email and the staff will forward it to her.

Heads up is certainly the appropriate phrase here, best of luck w/ the new book!
Below pics are a few I have saved here, some posted previously but all clear/no rights I know of.
There's a few more on my other computer, one w/ Linda and a bunch of cardboard cutouts of her in the same pic also maybe a SSJ...anyone have or know this one?
Although you may've seen her first Verne, lots more of us still love her too so who she leaves the dance with still open season!

[69hurstSC]

Some great shots there.

The most daunting task in automotive publishing is finding who owns the rights to a particular image. If you all remember the Oscars a couple years back, Ellen hosted and had Bradley Cooper take a selfie with a dozen stars in it. Yes it was Ellen's camera, but since Cooper snapped the shot he owns the rights.

Unless you can unequivocally prove you own the rights to an image you can not profit from it. Many times we find awesome shots for books but there's no trail tracing the history of the photo back to it's owner. :-(

I can say this though. Linda is making her private collection available for this project. There will be lots of unseen images in this book and it's all being done in partnership with Linda. Also, if you've read the Hot Rod article on her from 2012 and you liked it, you will be happy to know that Rob Kinnan is co-authoring this project with Linda.

[kinglatootha]

You can go to Nikki's web site at nikkioneillglass.com to see her beautiful glass work. I think there are a couple of pictures of her there, too.

I have a couple newspaper photos from 1961 &amp; 1962 NASCAR showing a very short-haired Linda, not sure if they've already been posted in this thread?

[PeteLeathersac]

Linda V, a class act forever and always!
Looking forward to the new book!

[Craig_Maiorana]

HAHA ... I knew someone was going to do that. The funny part about my meeting w/ her was. I was up in the muscle car lounge (sky box) and my wife went to the ladies room. So she calls me and says Linda Vaughn is down here hurry up. So I beat feet out of the tent and book it across the fairgrounds and I catch Linda leaving the ladies room and say hi Linda can I get a picture and of course she obliges. Then I say I hope you're feeling better (because she had been in the hospital then and what not) So she goes yeah I'm fine Darn fair ground food had my stomach all torn off so I had to go make things right ..... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif I had absolutely no come back ....

Funny, I notice the Hedrick Yenko in the 3rd pic. Great Pics!

King Richard and son Kyle Petty, posing with the twins. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif

[StealthBird]

Always loved these two pics! The signatures are pretty smooth, so I'm sure they signed them before the girls put the t-shirts on.

In the photo showing Linda walking to the left, I can make out the signatures of:

David Pearson
Benny Parsons
Al Unser
Carroll Shelby

In the photo showing the two girls facing the camera, I can see (on the other Hurst girl):

David Pearson (left breast)
Jackie Stewart

On Linda's shirt, on each breast, is Jackie Stewart, and the illustrious F1 driver James Hunt. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Can't quite make out the other signatures, perhaps others may recognize them.

[Canuck]

While leaving Barrett Jackson on Friday I saw Linda and two other ladies arrive in a Mustang. I waited until she got out to say Hi and ask her she was doing, knowing she has had some medical battles over the past few years.
She said she was doing fine despite s recent knee injury.
Her next line floored me.
&quot; I remember you, your from Canada!&quot;
I had meet her five years ago at BJ and was invited to have dinner with some other Oldsmobile guys who had invited Linda. There were 10 of us at Nicks Italian Restaurant in Scottsdale. Other than asking me where I was from that night and some other small talk, I am amazed she remembered.
It was great to see her again.

Next to Linda, the &quot;other Hurst girl&quot; reminds me of Brady and 'deflategate'

[69hurstSC]

I posted these on Jalopy Journal a few years back.

I believe Jack Brabham, George Follmer and Bobby Unser are on there as well. I'll see if Linda can tell me what event she got these at.

Paul,
I had a similar experience. In '98 I was at a Goodguys event in Ohio and Linda came by in a golf cart. I stopped her and asked for a photo op with my car. Her driver took the photo.
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2016/02/full-1145-38668-62_lindamecolumbus980001.jpg
I let her use the pen in my pocket to sign something because she didn't have one. When she handed it back to me, I said you can keep it.
Two years (at least) later I was at the York Reunion walking the aisles where Linda was sitting signing autographs with a line of at least 30 people waiting. As I walked by she yelled out my name, got up, came around the line and gave me a big hug! I was floored. I asked her how she remembered me and she said I had given her a very special present (the pen). What a memory. She is truly a princess. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif

A CLASS ACT she is ... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif

[luzl78]

Did she ever write a book? Can you imagine all the stories and shenanigans she has in the pretty head of her's?

[Canuck]

The book is coming out soon.

[69hurstSC]

Final cover art has been completed for the book. I would encourage and recommend pre-ordering this book as it will undoubtedly exceed sales expectations. We are submitting the new cover art to Amazon.

I know Nikki. Found her by fluke on FB and send her photos of herself from various sources she has never seen from time to time.

I told her she should come out to major car shows and reunions but she does not want to be in the spotlight. She is happy and lives a quiet life doing art.

Apparently Linda is in the hospital and it sounds like surgery is about to occur this week or next. Let's all wish for a speedy recovery for Linda.

Art Marshall’s victory, at the 1972 Grandnational, was the final win by a
front-engine Top Fueler and quite an upset for the unheralded 23-year-old
speed shop salesman from Springfield, N.J. His car, the ex-Don Prudhomme
high-back Hot Wheels dragster, was owned with Don Young and sponsored
by Van Iderstine’s Speed & Auto, where Marshall worked. Theirs was the
lone front-engine car in the field, yet he set down hitters such as Olson,
Harris, and, in the final, Jeb Allen.

Man that's funny!! He was too busy to take the picture. And it looks like he's possibly with Canon going by his shirt. What's the saying? -Take a picture it'll last longer!- At least somebody knew to take a picture! That guy reminds me of Newman from the Seinfeld show.
