ORIGINAL 1940 Ethyl Leaded Gas Printed Ad The Better The Gas The Better Your Car - $11 - (Cushing, ME)

Back in the olden days before unleaded gas, of course, there was leaded. And the more leaded it was, the less clunky knocking and pinging went on in your car. This cool old 1940 ad explains that to you in slightly more detailed terms ;) We love the old gas pump graphics - we are sure you do too! We rescued the ad from a 1940 news and culture magazine and trimmed away extra age browning at the edges - all set for you to mount, frame, use in your own crafting or throw in an acrylic frame or magnet back and use to decorate your fridge, retro den or out in your tetraethyl-free garage workshop. ;) 12" X 5.5" We ship between cardboard and in poly mailers. We always ship with care. Collect a bunch ~ We combine shipping! A LITTLE FRIENDLY SHOP TALK: We are crazy about old ads and ephemera. Our store is as creative a project as it is a money-making venture. We rescue any ads that appeal to us, regardless of condition. We are probably not the store for the mint condition crowd - we often trim away blemishes, rips, browning edges and other ugly scars of a long magazine life. Sometimes we cut wacky shapes to save an ad from being unloved and trashed. While we often leave too little edge for standard matting, we feel our buyer is, like us, wanting a genuine old ad (or many) to have fun with - ready to craft your own collage or throw in an acrylic frame or magnet back and slap on the fridge or wall with no formal fuss. (As we always say - you ought to see OUR OWN fridge!) We will always indicate any real damage or noticeable blemish, but otherwise be sure and mouse over the photos to see condition. Thank you for browsing and shopping our steadily expanding store. Please message us with any questions or even if you just wanna jaw about old stuff.
