VINTAGE Kennedy for President Bumper Sticker 1960 Unused Authentic

The United States of America has only had one “Rock Star” President and that man was John F. Kennedy. This EBay auction is for a piece of history from one of the most bitterly contested presidential elections in the history of our country.

Bumper Sticker up for Auction

In 1960, the Republican candidate for President was none other than Richard M. Nixon, at the time an experienced politician who had been Vice President under Dwight Eisenhower. The Democratic candidate and eventual winner of the election was John F. Kennedy, a handsome, charismatic young idealist with a beautiful wife and a political pedigree that made him more than a match for Nixon.

Kennedy’s sad legacy was woven into the fabric of this nation’ history in Dealey Plaza on November 22^nd 1963 when an assassin’s bullet tragically ended his life and vaulted Lyndon Johnson into the presidency.

1939 Copy of Gone with the Wind

The bumper sticker up for auction pictured above-right comes from that 1960 presidential election contested between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon. It was discovered in between the pages of a copy of “Gone with the Wind” at a garage sale in Los Angeles, California. The copy of the book actually dates back to 1939 and will be up for auction shortly. But the bumper stickers were hidden in pages of the book and are unused with the sticker backing still intact. These are authentic bumper stickers that date back to 1960, the sticker itself is Red, White and Blue with “KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT” in bold White Text. In the small print at the bottom of the sticker is CITIZENS FOR KENNEDY AND JOHNSON, 261 CONSTITUTION AVENUE, N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C.  The Union insignia (L-320) is visible just below the letter "F" in the word “FOR”.
