PLASTIC SIGN LOGO MOLDS 2 - AUTOMOTIVE & FUEL

Last month, I presented the first in a series of scans from a catalog of rubber molds for a vacuum form machine that produced plastic signs for store windows and magnetic signs for cars. That post contained clip art about food and logos of famous fast food and beverages - past & present. This time I'm posting logos related to automotive supplies, cars and gas stations. I almost entitled this post "getting gas" but realized there were more than gas stations contained in these. I'll be honest some of these companies I have never heard of. The are either regional or, like some of the ones I recognize, out of business or taken over by another company.

Skelly, DX,Vickers, Clark seemed to have faded away. BP we know is still around. What the heck is Gibble Gas?

More of the Art/Craft cavemen. Is it just me or did the Grateful Dead swipe the Bear logo for their t-shirts?

Art/Craft was also fond of little men with large heads wearing undersized derby hats. Some of the antique cars were probably to decorate men's dens and offices (It was a 60s & 70s thing). The Road Runner is here because of the popular Plymouth Road Runner sports cars.

OK Used Cars. Does anyone still use that anymore? I assume that one logo is for the Canadian heavy metal band of the 70s and not the country band of the 90s.

I hope you enjoy these. I have more.
