This bundle feels like opening a glovebox in 1970—in the best way. These kits were commonly distributed at gas stations, such as Sunoco, to assist travelers with route planning before the widespread use of GPS.
Included is a black zip travel pouch/document case (10" x 5" x 1.5") packed with vintage road-trip paper: Trail Boss Club/DX materials, Sunoco road map booklets (several marked ’70–’71), postcards, and travel brochures (including a NASA tour-themed pamphlet and Travelodge ephemera).
It’s a fun, displayable mix for collectors of gas & oil memorabilia, vintage travel history, and anyone who loves using authentic paper goods for journaling and collage.
