Late Wednesday Funnies…

We used old cigarette packs instead of cards. They were tossed out of cars everywhere. Later, when we got cars, we used the foil out of the packs to wrap around burned-out fuses.

Oil companies gave away drinking glasses with a fill-up at their gas stations. Esso offered the tiger tail to hang out of your gas cap. "Put a tiger in your tank" was the marketing gimmick.

Pretty common sight on the Pontiac GTOs we saw at the Pontiac Club car show this past weekend in Tulsa. Lots of tiger tails hanging out of the trunks.

If you were really into special sound effects for your bike you may tried using balloons instead of playing cards. A couple of properly placed balloons sounded like a Harley. Problem was having to replace them more often. Great while they lasted.
