    Sorry for the poor lighting on this photo. Veedol oil has a special place for me. Back in the early fifties, Saturday Evening Post magazine regularly had a 1/3 page ad featuring drawings of "dream cars" by Richard Arbib, it was sponsored by Veedol Oil. There was always a picture of a can of Veedol in the ad. Many of the design features those conceptual drawings of Arbib ended up being used in real life production vehicles.
