Things were different in 1959. NASCAR was only in its infancy, crowning its first winner that year and imprinting significantly less NASCAR promotional products. The plane carrying rock n roll legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper, went down and influenced one of music's most legendary songs, American Pie. And in the woods of Cuba, promotional hats and beards replicating Fidel Castro's signature look were worn by children - before the people grasped that he was oppressing them.
Castro gained popularity among the people early on and promotional products helped to reinforce his power. In the same decade, Disney also used custom caps to promote one of their own leaders, Davy Crockett. While they were first made over fifty years ago, you can still find Fidel Castro hats and actual full masks. He was even a popular Halloween costume. And like all notable Disney character costume, a cool Davy Crockett hat is always available too.What other historic person or famous characters have cool hats? Try to guess these ones. I'll give you a one word hint for each.
