Adventure Road Touring Information and Expense Record by Standard American Oil Company 1962

This is the Adventure Road Touring Information and Expense Record, a Standard service station giveaway booklet from the American Oil Company, copyright 1962.

The covers show light wear and soiling, and the inside pages are clean and unused with no rips or tears, as the photos show.

Before a trip you could work through the Can You Say Yes? car checklist and the Things to Remember list, then log every stop on the Meal Expenses pages. The cover reads As You Travel Ask Us beneath the Standard torch logo with three oval scenic photos, and a map of the United States inside carries the American and Standard logos.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
