ADDS a Bit of Nostalgia to any Ride.

Union Oil first Introduced "76" Gasoline in 1932. The name referred to the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence, and was also the Octane Rating of the gasoline in 1932.

Union 76 Invented the Antenna Topper Concept.

Beginning in 1967, Union 76 Company started giving away Styrofoam Antenna Balls—miniature versions of the advertising icon. The promotion was a great success. They were a Symbol of West Coast car culture, and are still in demand today.

 

Many stations had the 76 ball rotate when the signs were lit up. The first such sign was designed in 1962 by advertising creative director Ray Pedersen for the Seattle World's Fair.

 

In 2005, new corporate owners ConocoPhillips began a rebranding campaign to unify the design elements of each of the merged brands (76, Phillips, and Conoco). As a part of this re-branding, there was an initial decision to pull down all the Orange Ball signs and Replace them with monument-style signs in the Red Orange and Blue color. Worst of all, they started Removing and Destroying the familiar 76 Orange ball signs.

Here's a Chance to Own one of these Auto Icons to Add to your Ride.

Toyota at the London motor show 2008

Wed, 23 Jul 2008

By James Foxall and CAR reader reporter Sandy T Motor Shows 23 July 2008 13:01 With a massive 18-car product offensive planned for 2009, Toyota should have been one of the stars of this year's London show. But there's a clue in the timing; 2008 is a quiet year for Toyota, with a lull before next year's storm of new models. What’s new on Toyota’s London motor show stand?

McLaren MP4-12C Sets 7.28:00 at Nurburgring +video

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

McLaren MP4-12C sets a time at the Nurburgring We’ve had a spate of claims for lap records at the Nurburgring by production cars, and the latest to play the game is the McLaren MP4-12C, with McLaren claiming a time of 7.28:00. The last shenanigans we had with Nurburgring records was with the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR setting a Nurburgring time of 7:12.13 which, although very quick – and claimed as a Nurburgring record – wasn’t actually a record at all. Although we do have sympathy with our colonial cousins who believe its validity is greater than that of cars like the Radical.
