Vintage Gulf Oil Travel Card Advertisement – 1960s Auto Service & Gas Station Ephemera

This original 1960s Gulf Oil advertisement promotes the Gulf Travel Card, a convenient way for motorists to finance new tires, batteries, and car tune-ups for their road trips. Featuring a cheerful traveler standing inside a stack of tires, the ad cleverly suggests that customers can “put their new tires on this”—referring to the Gulf Travel Card.

Gulf’s financing option allowed drivers to charge purchases of $50 or more and pay in six equal installments with no interest or carrying charges, making it an attractive offer for vacationers and everyday motorists alike. The ad’s bold colors, playful imagery, and retro typography make it a classic piece of mid-century automotive advertising.

Perfect for collectors of vintage gas station memorabilia, classic car enthusiasts, and advertising ephemera fans, this authentic print ad is ideal for framing, scrapbooking, or display in an auto history collection.
