This advertising postcard shows a uniformed man at a Chevron/Standard Oil Gas Station checking an automobile battery with a smiling, attractive lady in a red dress looking on approvingly.

The backside indicates that a customer's Ford is due for chassis lubrication and an oil change.

This postcard was postmarked in February of 1961 in San Diego, California, and sent there locally.

After the years the postcard may show some typical wear, perhaps mostly at corners and along edges.

PLEASE review the scans carefully and then purchase confidently.

For a domestic mailing, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard first class shipping within the United States. In the effort to keep our costs down, I tend to trust our postal service and it works out great "99.9%" of the time. Moreover, in my experience "postcard enthusiasts" are a great community of people who are collaborative and don't take advantage of each other; therefore, I typically do not feel the need to drive up your costs so that I can later prove successful delivery-- I trust you. However, if you want to purchase certified mail services (includes tracking), then please send me a message so that we can make arrangements.


Thanks for considering this keepsake.
