This beautiful 240 page book gives the complete history of the Gilmore Oil Company based in Los Angeles in the 1930's and 1940's, including the participation and sponsorships of auto racing, their zany advertising, the sports complex, and oil refining and retailing.   This timeless hardcover book comes complete with a box and is brand new.  It was awarded the Society of Automotive Historians Valentine Award for excellence in 2015 and is reviewed on page 44 in the August 2017 issue of Keith Martin's Sports Car Market magazine.   The reviewer described it as "will enlighten and entertain with every page.....well researched....design and printing are both top-notch....reads like a couple of friends telling stories over a beverage or two".  Truly and enjoyable read, with photos on almost every page, many in color.

Over 80% of the print run has been sold in only two years.  Co-author Alan Darr, who has been distributing the book, passed away in December 2016 and we have agreed to bring the remaining copies to market.  Originally priced very reasonably at $52, we now offer the book, while it lasts, for only $40 with free shipping in USA via Post Office Media Mail.
