Vintage Pabst Blue Ribbon "Cool Blue" die-cut cardboard advertising sign featuring the PBR superhero mascot riding a branded snowmobile.

This is a distinct variation from the standing "Cool Blue" character — here the mustachioed hero is leaning forward on a blue and silver snowmobile with yellow skis, red cape flying, waving as he speeds along a snow cloud. The "Cool Blue" name appears on the snowmobile body, and the PBR label is displayed on the nose.

 The companion display panel shows the full Pabst Blue Ribbon beer label with the "Original Pabst Blue Ribbon beer — Selected as America's Best in 1893" tagline.

Collector's Notes

The snowmobile scene is a less common variation of the "Cool Blue" character than the standing superhero pose, which makes this a more interesting piece for focused PBR or breweriana collectors.

The multi-city brewery credit on P-1035 production is a useful dating marker — Pabst expanded to multiple national brewing locations during the 1970s, and this credit line reflects that expansion. 

A solid breweriana find for a bar display, man cave shelf, or PBR collection.
