This great looking jacket from Mobil Oil reflects the pride companies and their employees took in their appearance in bygone days. In days predating this jacket, the attendants would wear snappy hats along with either bowties or regular neckties.
Who's the lovely model, for that great jacket?
Mid-70's they outfitted us with full uniforms. I had a Gulf, then we changed to Standard, then Amoco. - We used to check your tires, check your oil, and wash your windshields too, every single customer.
Hi, Dave.....that is my neighbor, Michele Howell...and yes she is a lovely lass!!!! I'll share your sentiments with her.. thanks for the love and for the nice comment! Have a fine day, and especially on this Christmas Eve....
Thank you aghcollect.....I appreciate the love and the comment. Yikes, times have changed!!! Some states, such as PA, where I live, drivers can pump their own gas, so attendants a rarity in The Keystone State!
Gone are the days of "Happy Motoring" as Esso, later Exxon attendants used to say!!!
Hava fine Christmas Eve, with a great Yule to follow!!!!
Same to you Ted.
Thank you, Dave.....
Thank you, Dave.....
Good morning, egreeley....thank you for your love of this jacket...Merry Christmas to you!
Hi, V-50...thank you for the love....Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas Ted! In my real job I frequent oil refineries, including the Exxon/Mobil refinery. Jackets, shirts, coverall etc all have these patches and more. I would never take anything but have often wondered if our CW oil and gas guys would be interested.
Hi, AmberRose...and a Merry Christmas to you, also!
I'm thinking that collectors of Petroliana would be very interested in the items that you mentioned.
I was very lucky to have befriended the Unocal Reps when they were NASCAR's official fuel...they gave me some cool items. Also the same for the Texaco and Valvoline reps. Just thinking..no more Unocal nor Texaco.....sad to think about this!
Thank you, officialfuel, vanskyock24 and EJW-54...I appreciate the love...and Merry Christmas to each of you!!!!
Yep, also cover Citgo. Got tons of Unocal stuff somewhere. Too cold to dig it out of the garage...turkey is in the oven. Kiddos are contentedly playing with Santa toys...hubby making gravy...all is good.
Thank you, brat...I hope that you had a fine Christmas, too!
Hi, AmberRose...it sounds like you have a good source of Petroliana material!
Happy New Year to you!!!
Thanking you all for the loves of this cool jacket. Best wishes to everyone for a Happy New Year!!!
Merry New Year Ted_Straub! =)
