76 Service Station Reminder Card 1968 Ford GT 40
« on: August 09, 2021, 04:46:05 PM »
I came across this while going through some of my parent's old paperwork.  It appears to be perforated top and bottom.  Looks as if they were a little behind in getting their '78 Granada serviced!

Craig, thanks for posting, that is a neat piece ! I wonder if there were any other cards from 76 that were Ford related, or any other

 stations ?

I have these cards from BA in Ontario, Canada "gallery of great cars" they were given out when you tanked up, these are from I

 believe '68 ? my dad got them and passed them on to me, there were 24 in a series, and a poster on which you glued them, I

think there was more than one series. These are the ones that were Shelby related, I like the wording on the back !

There was also this one with a '67 GT500.

You're so right, Mike!  Whoever wrote those did a great job.  Do you have all 24?

I remember as a kid growing up in Western Canada in the '60s, B/A (British American) gas stations were pretty common.... just like Esso, Texaco and Royalite. I never saw cards like this though.......

These are really cool to see and I also agree, the write-ups are excellent. I have always liked the rear 3/4 view of the ‘67 as shown. Mike and Craig, thanks for posting.
   
It’s a trip down memory lane how the filling stations not only pumped your gas and checked your oil, but offered promotions like collecting all of these cards. Since it is Super Bowl Sunday, I will mention a promotion I remember in the ‘60s where each time you filled up, you received a sticker featuring a football helmet of one of the NFL teams. The goal was to collect all of them. My mom and dad always filled up at the same station and I remember the owner helping us get the last couple we needed to complete the set.
