Description

Bumper stickers actually got their start in 1946. A Kansas City printer, Forest P. Gill, had a surplus of adhesive-baked paper and fluorescent paint. He also had an inventive imagination, and the bumper sticker was born. The first presidential bumper sticker didn’t appear until the Eisenhower/Stevenson contest of 1952.

The Guinness Book of World Records credits Bill Heermann of Lincoln, Nebraska, with the largest individual accumulation of bumper stickers, with 4131 examples in his collection.
