Making A Statement About the Gas Crisis

Tom McCall believed in making bold statements about issues, and the 1973-74 energy crisis was one of the prime examples where he put ideas into action. Many of them worked, like the ban on outdoor display lighting. Some of them didn't, like his short-lived effort to replace his state car, a Lincoln Continental, with a more gas-efficient Audi. Although he's shown behind the wheel of the Audi in this photo, McCall was usually driven to official events, and he quickly found the Audi's backseat too small for his six-foot-five frame.
