I looked when I was there last weekend (and going back next sat for Mouse Fest), it just looked like a dummy. And no, not an LBJ Dummy.

Well i rode today and I got a pretty good look at the figure. Now I dunno if the figure was LBJ but it did look like some kind of politician (with sunglasses and a lei) and it was definately a cardboard cutout.

Y'know... everyone is missing the key issue here... Disney skimped and used a cardboard cut out instead of at least a manequin... sheesh! LOL!

I think they should change up the president in the 'hot seat' every once in a while. It would even be hilarious to see Hilary Clinton or Laura Bush driving that semi head on . Shoot, I'd settle for a little Taft behind the wheel.

Mannnnn the inappropriate jokes that popped into my head with that visual are just insane.

I know this is an old post but we actually broke down in front of the tractor! I was able to get one "decent" picture before we started moving again.

Awesome! Thanks for posting it!! I don't see anything but the face but it does look like Johnson.

A quick google

• Lyndon B. JohnsonStatement by the President on the Strike at General Motors.October 19th, 1964
THE General Motors strike is now in its fourth week and is beginning to have an impact upon production and employment in other industries.
Our economy is now in its 44th month of continuous advance.
Failure of the General Motors Corporation and the United Automobile Workers to settle their differences at the local plant level will jeopardize the continuous upward thrust of our economy. On October 5 I said I was pleased that the General Motors Corporation and the Auto Workers had reached an agreement at the national level. In the past 2 weeks significant but slow progress has been made in settling the 130 local plant disputes. The remaining disputes are unquestionably important to the individual workers and the local plant managers, but I sincerely hope that a speedy solution to them is possible. I urge the officers of the General Motors Corporation and of the Auto Workers Union at the national and local level to reason together, to unite in purpose so that the presently prolonged auto strike can be brought to an end. Such a settlement will be in the best interest of the parties, of the economy, and of the general public.

there could be a bigger reason for the LBJ cut out.
