Remember The Nixon Poster - Would You Buy A Used Car?

[ThomWV]

I have no Photoshop ability anymore or I'd do it myself, but does anyone recall that old Poster of Richard Nixon in a suit looking quite somber and the caption "Would you buy a used car from this man?"

1. I vaguely remember. I could try to do you a poster. I work with

Photoshop Elements -- a simplier version of Photoshop.

I have a Yahoo group, URL in my Sig Line -- You can upload the photo(s) in the FILES section on the left and Post a message with what you want the text to say and the style and color.

I could download the photo, work with it and post it in 8x11 printable size on my Yahoo group.

If you don't want to sign up with photoshop, leave a link with your photo and what you want the text to say in my DU mailbox.

Peace.

2. Vaguely remember,

there were so many good posters back then and times being what they were I can kind of remember, I think, you know, maaaaaaan. :hippie:

I hope someone answers your call who can do it because there are quite a few out there that would look great on a poster like that.

Edit because I am in a hurry and can't spell a thing

3. There is an old National Lampooon book

that had a cover adorned with artwork you'd find very suitable, I think. It was "Would you buy a used war from this man?" I'll look for it. I have the book somewhere.

11. That came after the original used car poster,

which I think came out in 1967 or 68.

9. There was a Nixon poster

with his face that said, simply: "Now, More Than Ever!"

My friends and I would get our best black markers, go through rituals of preparation for monkey warfare, and go about writing: "...Don't Even Vote For Nixon!" on them. We were young, and hopefully we will find forgiveness in the afterlife.

10. Yes. He had a dark 5-o-clock shadow

He looked totally sleazy in the picture, unshaven and grimacing.

back in the day.

15. OMG, I nearly spit out my Cheerios!

What a horrible sight first thing in the morning.I had mercifully forgotten that one.

Do you remember the poster with the extremely pregnant woman saying "Nixon's the One"?

[deminks]

17. I do remember!

I haven't found a picture yet, but I absolutely remember that. IIRC, it was a Nixon campaign slogan that was used against him.
