Before memes, there were bumper stickers; and baby, they said it all.
Plastered on wood-paneled station wagons, rusty Chevys, and vans with more carpet than your living room, these sticky slogans were rolling billboards for rebellion, humor, peace signs, and perfectly good bad ideas.
From groovy one-liners to political zingers, vintage bumper stickers gave America a voice… on the back of a Buick. So buckle up, adjust your mirrors, and get ready for a joyride through the snark, sass, and straight-up wisdom of yesteryear’s stickiest statements.
Warning: May cause flashbacks, belly laughs, or an uncontrollable urge to buy a Pinto.
