Scans of 1960s Amoco promos

I found these in an old cigar box of stuff I collected in the '60s. I thought they would be some colorful, fun things to share here.

Here's the outerside cover detail explaining the promotion to win a '68 Corvette:

And some of the inside game pieces which are quite colorful:

    Nice cards! I especially like the Ruth and Mantle cards. You had these put away since the 60's? Nice find!
    Looking for Carl Willey items.

    Yup. I'd bore everyone to tears with all the crapola I've got stashed away...

    Glad you enjoyed these!

    I should add that these measure 5 1/4" by 2 1/8 " in case anyone was curious...

    Those are great!

    I have the Starr as a single panel, and an Atlantic Oil clemente, another gas station premium. PSA was lenient on my clemente, you might want to get some of those graded. They don't sell for much but they're nice old cards! I think I paid $10 for the clemente and 15 or so for the starr. Your starr is much nicer than mine is.

    Nice Roberto! He's got to be one of the most photogenic players of all time.

    I have an extra Starr panel by itself (separated from a Parnelli Jones panel), but it's got a minor crease on the lower-right corner. You're welcome to it if you'd like it. In fact, that's the only dupe I have!

    PM me if interested...

    And while I'm at it, I've got time for a couple scans of more Amoco promos from the '60s.

    Here's two 1969 "Win a Mustang Mach I or a Ford Country Squire" (duuuh, which would I choose??!) contest pieces:

    Also, I found this 1966 Amoco promo for yet another chance to win a Mustang. Oh, to have one of those classic cars today...
