Numerous reports say that Linda Vaughn suffered a heart attack.

Says the post: “Longtime racing beauty queen, and former Miss Hurst Shifter, Linda Vaughn is in the hospital where she is being treated for a recent heart attack. She recently lost her boyfriend due to heart problems and we hear she has been under a lot of stress. We wish her well.”

Get well, Linda!

I believe she has had heart trouble for several years now. Unfortunately we all get old. I have never had the opportunity to meet her and I have never heard a bad thing about her. I wish her well. Surprisingly she does not have a Wikipedia page.

Yes she does.

IMO: She's a very important part of Olds history. I wish her a speedy recover.

Beautiful woman inside and out. A fine representative for the Oldsmobile brand. She is in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Someday when she does stand at the pearly gates (hopefully later than sooner)she will be met with the same fanfare she enjoyed on earth. I can see Octania greeting her. When / if I get to heaven my vision includes an Oldsmobile presents. How can heaven not include Olds folks.

I did not realize she's 73. Linda is our first lady of Oldsmobile now. Hope she recovers quickly.


We should all hope to ride a Rocket into eternity.

Came across this video the other day on YouTube. I imagine she gave many men heart attacks:

Matt, Linda Vaughn, Laura & Jeff at 2015 CarCraft Nationals.



She's amazing-even at 74. Chatted with her at the '15 CC Nats in Milwaukee and she shared some of her driving exploits from her past. Signed my glove box too!


Hang in there Linda!

That is the equivalent of Carroll Shelby signing the glovebox of a Shelby.
