Description
Full color 10″ x 13 3/4″ ad that illustrates Pennzoil Motor Oil. This ad shows a single can of Pennzoil sitting there on top of a shelf, all by itself, as the caption calls it “The lonely oil”. The ad says that “It lives alone. In the back room, It is seldom on display when you drive in, because Pennzoil is not a product developed by a large family of gasoline stations. Yet, Pennzoil is there when you ask for it. (And like some people, like new car dealers and garages, even come out in the open and feature it.) Because when the chips are down, you need the grandfather of pure Pennsylvania motor oils. 1> To keep metal parts working without rubbing each other out, 2. To make the horsepower in your car act like it could fly. Pennzoil is the only motor oil containing its own additive, Z-7, to keep today’s high compression engines free of rust, carbons and varnish. But, if you forget all that technical stuff, just remember: something has to be pretty exceptional when a loner from a little town in Pennsylvania has pumped its way into gasolone stations all over America”.
