Here’s a look back to the classic Sixties era of the Packers and the NFL in this January 1968 ad in Boys’ Life — the monthly magazine of the Boy Scouts of America. Green Bay’s HB Paul Hornung is featured endorsing the Soap Box Derby, which was sponsored by Chevrolet. Hornung was actually a former player at that point, having retired following the 1966 season. According to Wikipedia: “Hornung was selected in the (1967) expansion draft by the New Orleans Saints, who later traded for Hornung's backfield mate at Green Bay, former LSU All-American FB Jim Taylor. Hornung never suited up for the Saints, as the neck injury forced him to retire during training camp.”
