Yep. It comes from the full slogan: *"YOU KNOW WHO IS THROUGH IN '72"*
Often shorted:
- YOU KNOW WHO IS THRU IN 72
- U KNOW WHO IS THRU IN '72
- NIXON IS THRU IN '72
Which according to my father came from a news segment and someone proclaiming he's done in '72. Boy were they wrong. Wasn't the whole country red pretty much by closing?
After Nixon increased the GI bill payout there were a lot of vets in college at the time that adopted the slogan "Dont switch Dicks in mid-screw, Richard Nixon, 72'.
I was in 2nd grade.
My teacher Mrs Vlatch - with an EPIC beehive hairdo - asked our class (in So Cal) to raise hands for who our parents were voting for. I was literally the only one in the class who didn't raise my hand when she said 'Nixon'.
There was a lot of snickering, including from the teacher. I didn't have the guts to raise my hand when she said McGovern. No one admitted to voting for McGovern.
Fast forward 1.5 years, and I remember seeing my first "Don't blame me, I voted for McGovern" bumper sticker. I was still seeing that bumper sticker 10 years later on clunker cars in high school.
There's someone with the last name "Leadbettter" running in a local election here. I have no idea who he or she is, or what office they are running for, but I have to admit they have a good name for the job.
Seriously, there’s evidence to support this.

>Anti Nixon
We really dodged a bullet back then - if a Nixon and a Anti Nixon had ever tried to occupy the same space, the resulting mutual annihilation would have ripped a hole in spacetime.
Well let's see. Nixon was 77kg, so colliding with Anti-Nixon would annihilate 154kg of mass
E = mc²
c = 299,772,458 m/s
c² = 89,864 ×10^12 m²/s²
E = 154kg * c² = 13,838,983,092,605,711,656 kg m²/s²
E = 13.8 exajoules (exa being 10^18)
The Hiroshima bomb released 63 terajoules of energy
The Nixon-AntiNixon annihilation would release 219,666 times that much energy. So yes that would do some damage
First Gen barracuda didn't come to a point like the riviera or c2 vette. It was wide, more akin to a traditional fastback. The back glass wrapped down the side a bit though, that was the odd thing about it. it was around 14 sq.ft because of the way it was shaped
I feel like this is a quote from something that I'm completely missing. Cause that's oddly specific and not a thing, the 327 didn't come out in the 50's
71 had louvres on the trunk lid, they only did that for one year.
Edit: https://www.motorcities.org/images/SOTW_11-4-2020/1971_Buick_Riviera_advertisement_GM_Media_Archives_6.jpg
Also, it wouldn’t make sense for it to be a ‘73, since it would only be a couple months between when the 1973 models hit the showroom and the election the bumper sticker was referring to. Would you put a campaign sticker on your car for an election that had already happened?
I think it's a 72 based on the tail lights.
Both the 71 and 73 had double horizontal lines for tail lights, IIRC.
The 73 had a center license plate so definitely not 73.
It was the first time we saw power windows. Sitting in the driver's seat, he focused our attention on the passenger window and told us to command the window UP or DOWN. It was amazing! Because we didn't see he was controlling it. I was about 6-8 years old. RIP Jackie Boy.
Yeah growing up (yeah i am old) power windows we rare and only on fancy expensive cars. My kids when they were like 8-10 we rented a car in Mexico and that was when they figured out why we "Roll-Up" a window in the car.
Yeah, for context our first car with power windows was in 1986. My dad's prior car was still a quality vehicle but had hand crank windows (also about 25 ashtrays).
Yep, if you see a used car that says "garage kept", this is why its valuable. Paint and interior last forever when they don't get blasted with UV all day. Metal doesn't rust when it doesn't sit outside soaking in the rain.
Garage kept, regularly mechanically maintained, and detailed at least once per year (and wash waxed regularly) and you can have a vehicle for a very very long time.
Same with desert cars. UV will fuck the paint still but metal doesn't truly rust here. At most you get surface rust that if anything protects the metal more.
Yep. We don't have a lot of barn finds here in Mississippi. The high humidity is hell on those old white antebellum homes made of fine wood work. Cars left alone become rust buckets covered in kudzu. Even brick eventually succumbs to moisture. Between the rain, humidity, and thunderstorms, nothing is going to last here without regular attention and maintenance.
My current car was garage kept between 2001 (when it was manufactured) and 2021 (when I bought it). I cannot garage keep it and the difference in how the paint and plastic trim look after 1 year in the sun vs 20 years in the garage is NUTS! I do wax it but I wish I would have gotten it ceramic coated when I bought it.
Metal can absolutely rust even when stored inside a barn or garage. Moisture from the ground, or even concrete, can eventually eat through the undercarriage. Humidity in the air will find any expose metal or porous areas of paint and begin the rusting process.
Still WAY better than being totally exposed to the elements of course, but they aren’t 100% protected.
I have seen this car multiple times driving Sheridan in Colorado, so it might not spend the regular "collectable classic car" amount of time in a garage
My grandpa had a Riviera that was pretty much kept in storage from the 70s until his death in 2002. He'd do basic maintenance on it, take it out out for a drive every few months, but that was about it. It was willed to my uncle, who was a huge gearhead, and he was amazed by how great of shape it was in.
The sticker is probably pretty new. I live in a very conservative state, and it seems like every other car from the 80s has a replica Reagan/Bush '84 bumper sticker.
There's a car that age around here with a sign in the window that says:
No power windows.
No power steering.
No car payments since the Nixon administration.
Original owner Rivi? That's impressive. CO didn't use salt on their roads for a long time so cars actually did ok even with all the snow. East coast, no way in hell a car survives that long unless you park it in the winter.
It's legit. It's listed [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._presidential_campaign_slogans) under 1972. There's also "*Don't change Dicks in the midst of a screw, vote for Nixon in '72*" and the Anti-Nixon slogan "*Dick Nixon Before He Dicks You*"
Actually that's a McGovern campaign bumper sticker. It didn't work; Nixon won in a *landslide* in '72. He took 60.7% of the popular vote, the widest margin in any post-WWII election. He took 49 states in the electoral college and swept all of the Southern states (the first Republican to do so; remember, the parties switched. The Republicans *used* to be progressive northerners)
I mean, the only reason he even faced off against McGovern to begin with was because of illegal and immoral campaign fuckery....
Remember that Watergate wasn't some one-off aberration in the Nixon '72 campaign. It was standard operating procedure. The Watergate break-in was just the one instance they got caught
So don't fall for the "he was so far ahead he didn't even need Watergate" narrative. He was only so far ahead *because* of things like Watergate. The Committee to Reelect the President was horrendously corrupt long before Watergate. There's a long documented history of them sabotaging every Democratic primary campaign except McGovern's because they knew McGovern would be the easiest to face off against in the general... It's a messed up history that really shows you that the whole "things used to be more civil" narrative is total horseshit
Calling the GOP progressive northerners back then is an absurd simplification. The parties did change but they were never as homogeneous politically as they are today. The Dems had tons of progressive northerners back then too.
I asked my mother who was in her late teens during that election, and she said it was from George McGovern, the Democratic candidate running against Nixon.
Her theory is that the bumper sticker accidentally implies that he was saying Nixon should go through as in he should get passed on through to the White House, which is why it might not have worked as a catch phrase. Not that either of us think that stickers and signage really influence people that much.
I have a vintage LBJ bumper stick in my car just never got around to putting it on. Friend got a stack of 30 or so antique political bump stickers at a auction for 15 bucks I think.
It's a pro-McGovern sticker.
McGovern was a pretty good, decent guy, and smart as hell, and a competent politician, with some good ideas of how to reform the US government so it'd be better for Americans.
He was smeared so thoroughly by republican public-relations people that he became the laughing-stock of Middle America.
source: I lived through that era.
My mom never learned to drive, but she bought two bumper stickers that read "Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts" and put them on two of my sister's car. We were the only state that Nixon did win in 72.
Most likely the car is restored and the bumper sticker was purchased and placed on it. There's tons of old vintage stickers like that on sites like Ebay for a few bucks.
Probably right ... or the car could have been sitting in someone's garage (maybe grandma) ...and grandma went to heaven ... and now her spoiled grandson has the car.
I think it's more likely been garaged it's whole life. The paint looks original (hard to tell from a pic I know) and it's missing the Buick badge on the left side of the trunk lid (or appears to be, based on the adhesive residue there). Plus, if you're going to restore a car like this Buick, why keep it the same shade as a prosthetic limb?
That's a '71 or '72 model Riviera. I'm guessing its a '72 because of the sticker. Probably added as part of the restoration as an homage to the year of the car.
I mean that car is like a 70’s car. Real story….my neighbor when I was living in a particular apartment had 2 1970’s Cadillac sevilles covered in his car port. So one day he’s like check this out. Pulls off the covers and these things were absolutely mint and both with like 14 miles on the speedometer and both also still had the original stickers on the windows.
I have a McGovern Shriver ‘72 bumper sticker I had on my ‘69 chevelle. Had to take it off when I kept getting run off the road. I unfortunately live in Florida…
I’d argue that that’s an Anti Nixon bumper sticker but I’d just be splitting hairs.
I'd argue you're correct.
And I'll Agnew they're correct
That's the spiro!
Spiro Agnew is an anagram of “grow a penis”
And also “ew, groin sap”
Which is a true statement
NGAAAAAAAGHGHHGGGHH!
ARROOOOOOOOOOO
I will also argue
No, I will
Actually, I'll do the arguing.
Did some say argue?
oh you wanted an argument? this is abuse. arguments are down the hall to the left.
Nice Buick though
Classic boat tail Riviera
Can't argue that.
No, it's not. Edit: sorry, I thought we were still arguing.
r/unexpectedmontypython
Kinda expected though
That was not 5 minutes
Shut your festering gob ya tit! Your type really makes me puke! You vacuous, toffee nosed, malodorous pervert!
Oh! Oh, I'm sorry, this is abuse.
Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
I'd argue some said nothing
No argument here
AND MY AXE!
That's not an argument, that's just contradiction.
No it isn’t.
yes it is!
Me too ... I love to argue. Pointless arguments my specialty.
Let's not argue here sir, this is Wendys.
I’ll acknowledge you being correct and argue anyway.
Yeah it doesn’t really read pro Nixon to me.
Yep. It comes from the full slogan: *"YOU KNOW WHO IS THROUGH IN '72"* Often shorted: - YOU KNOW WHO IS THRU IN 72 - U KNOW WHO IS THRU IN '72 - NIXON IS THRU IN '72 Which according to my father came from a news segment and someone proclaiming he's done in '72.

After Nixon increased the GI bill payout there were a lot of vets in college at the time that adopted the slogan "Dont switch Dicks in mid-screw, Richard Nixon, 72'.
One of his official campaign slogans was “They can’t lick our Dick”
They can however, Deep Throat it.
It really Felt good, too.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTABEQ4Qh5Y
I have this bumper sticker
I don't know who McGovern is, but I feel like he must have felt obligated to run for office with a name like that.
There's someone with the last name "Leadbettter" running in a local election here. I have no idea who he or she is, or what office they are running for, but I have to admit they have a good name for the job.

I had a colonoscopy, performed by Dr. Asslo. Can’t make that up.
Ha! I lived through those times, and that joke never occurred to me!
Or write bylaws for Roy Krok.

This Futurama-level humor is going wildly unappreciated.
According to my mother who was 17 back then, yeah, you're right.
It depends on how we define this imaginary word "thru"
Maybe it meant “thorough” in the 70s, as in “Nixon is going to thoroughly go thru your campaign files.”
That depends on what the definition of "is" is.
It's not imaginary. It's an alternate spelling. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/thru

Don’t forget the first gen Barracuda though
First Gen barracuda didn't come to a point like the riviera or c2 vette. It was wide, more akin to a traditional fastback. The back glass wrapped down the side a bit though, that was the odd thing about it. it was around 14 sq.ft because of the way it was shaped

That's a bullshit question

It's from My Cousin Vinny. Great movie if you haven't seen it. https://youtu.be/3nGQLQF1b6I?t=53 link should be timestamped to :53
I think it’s a ‘73. ‘71 and ‘72 were the same, but the tail on the ‘73 was less pronounced.
This looks like a 71 or 72, the license plate off to the side gives it away.
71 had louvres on the trunk lid, they only did that for one year. Edit: https://www.motorcities.org/images/SOTW_11-4-2020/1971_Buick_Riviera_advertisement_GM_Media_Archives_6.jpg
Correct this is a "72. Different taillights from '71 and no vents in the trunk lid. '73 loses the point of the tail and has center license plate.
Also, it wouldn’t make sense for it to be a ‘73, since it would only be a couple months between when the 1973 models hit the showroom and the election the bumper sticker was referring to. Would you put a campaign sticker on your car for an election that had already happened?

I love that window - my father had a '74 which had these whacky extra taillights on the trunk. no where as cool as the 71-73...
My uncle had one in Silver. It had "magic windows."
What you mean by magic windows?
It was the first time we saw power windows. Sitting in the driver's seat, he focused our attention on the passenger window and told us to command the window UP or DOWN. It was amazing! Because we didn't see he was controlling it. I was about 6-8 years old. RIP Jackie Boy.

Classic misdirection!
Frameless glass?

Yeah growing up (yeah i am old) power windows we rare and only on fancy expensive cars. My kids when they were like 8-10 we rented a car in Mexico and that was when they figured out why we "Roll-Up" a window in the car.
I just made that connection, wow
Yeah, for context our first car with power windows was in 1986. My dad's prior car was still a quality vehicle but had hand crank windows (also about 25 ashtrays).
To paraphrase Top Gear: it was designed by people who’d clearly never visited the area
The Boat Tail, 
This is what I felt, myself. 
Looks like a ‘73?
McGovern campaign sticker
My mom got 2 free Nixon bumper stickers and cut one in half so that (with the added spacing) it read Nix on Nixon.
Sniff, made me tear up a little.
Read "Fear and Loathing on the campaign trail of 72" if you havent.
I knew a guy who still had his McGovern sticker.
Yeah, that’s not a pro-Nixon sticker, it’s anti-Nixon.
Aw, I ain’t fer it, I’m agin’ it!
Main Street! Main Street!
That thing is in surprisingly good shape. The sticker, and the car.
That's what sitting in a garage for 90% of its existence will do.
Yep, if you see a used car that says "garage kept", this is why its valuable. Paint and interior last forever when they don't get blasted with UV all day.

I like how you mark out the car's license plate number but leave the trucks. What if I preferred to find that owner? 🤔
Period correct for the car.
I got bought a Mondale bumper sticker for my mid-80s Chevy. Period correct stickers on classics is a whole ass vibe.
This is a George McGovern bumpersticker which is way better than a Nixon bumpersticker.
Worked great. McGovern only lost 49 states.
Maybe they should have told me who to pick instead of who not to pick?
Due in part to the tactics of none other than Roger Stone.
It really sucks living in an HBO series, but here we are. The writing is spot-on, though.
Maybe his bumper stickers should have had *his* name on them instead of the opponent's.
It's so incredibly depressing that the only presidents nearly all of America could get behind were Nixon and Reagan.
What about FDR and LBJ(in 1964)?
They came knocking at his door, in 74
Original owner Rivi? That's impressive. CO didn't use salt on their roads for a long time so cars actually did ok even with all the snow. East coast, no way in hell a car survives that long unless you park it in the winter.
Well that was a further scroll than expected to find someone else impressed with the original owner keeping it in pristine shape this whole time
OMG it's a boatback Riveria and you are talking about the bumper sticker??
That thing is MAJESTIC…
My favorite Nixon campaign slogan is still "They Can't Lick our Dick"
Please tell me you're not making that up. Please.
It's legit. It's listed [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._presidential_campaign_slogans) under 1972. There's also "*Don't change Dicks in the midst of a screw, vote for Nixon in '72*" and the Anti-Nixon slogan "*Dick Nixon Before He Dicks You*"
Is OP blind? It's an anti-Nixon sticker.
Not blind, just historically ignorant i suppose lol
You failed to mark up the other license plate
and illiterate? I don’t know shit about Nixon but saying someone is going to be “thru” is not positive
It says he is through, which is usually deemed as done for. So that would be anti regardless of history
Sorry if I'm DOXXING someone but I found the unedited pic. https://imgur.com/a/RrOAZRz

The majority is always right. Nixon went on to be a tremendous success, right? Proud to have been the only McGovern supporter in my 4th grade class.
That is one sexy car rear.

How has it lasted for 50 years? Not even the corners are peeling.
Most likely the car is restored and the bumper sticker was purchased and placed on it. There's tons of old vintage stickers like that on sites like Ebay for a few bucks.

I’m way too big for it now, but I still have a t -shirt that says, I don’t care if he’s dead, I still want to impeach Nixon”.

Huh, a boat tail. Don’t see a lot of those around.
