Additional commentary.
1. About the marker
Based on the date attributed from this marker, it is from Ford's failed 1976 election campaign. (While Ford served as U.S. President, he did so as the only person who was never elected as President or Vice President. As such, his campaign in 1976 is considered an election, and not a re-election, campaign.)
