Description
Three color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Piston Rings. There is a frightening picture of a man in a car frantically trying to drive his car up an incline while a creature with a human head, human hands with long fingernails and a body made from smoke reaches out, grabs the rear of the car and slows it to a stop. The headline has this creature saying “‘Slow Up’ says Smoke ‘I’m one backseat driver you’ll obey'”. The ad encourages you to “Repower with Sealed Power and go“ and mentions their Piston Rings, the Pistons and their lapped finish Piston Pins. This ad, from the days when engine overhauls were often monthly, urges you to act fast at the first sign of smoke coming from your exhaust. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
