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.

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.
