Gerald Ford, the 38th President, was the only president of USA who was never elected to either the position of President or Vice President of the USA. He was appointed to the post of Vice President after the resignation of Nixon VP, Spiro Agnew of Maryland and later become President after the infamous Watergate scandal which saw the resignation of President Nixon.

(Presidents John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur were all elected as vice-president, but were never elected to be President. They became President due to the death of the elected President. )
