Somebody's in deep shit.

 

Looks like he broke the frame.

 

You can trust your car to the man who wears the star.

 

My friend Marc.

 

Dick Scritchfield’s roadster, the first car painted using Metalflake. Nobody knows why Tex Smith did this photo shoot at Jeffries shop, the car wasn’t painted there.

 

"The Big Bright Texaco Star!"

My dad switched to Texaco products exclusively in the early 60's. He was in the John Deere dealership waiting at the parts counter for some dozer parts to be brought out for him when a guy came in with a new Master Heater space heater that wouldn't light off. It was cold out, in the neighborhood of 45 below zero. The service guy asked what brand of fuel he had in it and the customer said Chevron , or Union , or something. The service guy said okay, and emptied the fuel into a waste oil drum. He filled it with cold Texaco fuel and set it in the back of the guy's pickup and plugged it in. It lit right off and my dad was immediately converted to a Texaco guy only, haha. He lived to 101 years and remained a fan of Texaco products until he couldn't get them anymore.
