notes: label: Description
content: This dashboard doll was sold during the 1964 presidential campaign of Senator Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee. It came in a box that read: “Another true-to-life Remco replica of outstanding personalities in the headlines! Inspired gift for ardent Republicans—gag-gift for ‘dyed-in-the-wool’ Democrats. Specially made to attach to cars. GOP’s MAN of the hour.” Remco produced a similar doll designed to look like President Lyndon B. Johnson, Goldwater’s Democratic opponent and victor in the election.
