Car Culture

My favorite all-time slogans were witty messages on a series of billboards aimed at highway drivers and passengers, says C. MacDonald. Created by Burma Shave from 1926 to 1963, these eye-catching words became a major part of California and American lore:

  • Don’t lose
    Your head
    To gain a minute
    You need your head
    Your brains are in it
  • The chick
    He wed
    Let out a whoop
    Felt his chin and
    Flew the coop
  • The safest rule
    No ifs or buts
    Just drive
    Like every one else
    Is nuts!
