I love the old ads - they make me nostalgic for an era from before I was born.

Yep. Back when oil jocks wore white shirts and little black bow ties...

Can you imagine pulling into a Jiffy Lube and seeing guys running around looking like that.

That guy in the top add looks like Mr Whipple.

Those AC Delco guys were a bunch of animals, lol. "Aluvac" filter element, lots of funny marketing back in those days.

AC oil filters keep your engine free of snakes and foxes!

Those old ads are fun to see though, a window into the past.

No, nor can i see them recommending the horrific "too long" interval of 5K. j/k
