My XSR rear tire at 5,889 miles ... it likes twisty roads.

I'm guessing this ad is early- to mid-'60s.

Random observations:
- Clutch assemblies are featured, indicating they were still a mainstream item.
- The newest models for the replacement parts are '61s.
- No "W" after the "10" in the 10-30 all-season oil.
- Check out that $1.10 premium for a tubeless tire. (What will they think of next?)
- "Natural" (non-detergent) oil.

Great find, thanks so much for posting!

I'm guessing the ad in the late 50's.
Great post.
Surprisingly the grease is $4.19 I can get that cheaper today.

Per my parents, when I was very young I called all mammals "kitties", and therefore called the winged Mobil horse a kittybird.

I'm guessing the ad in the late 50's.

It lists up to a model year 1961 for some parts, so has to be early 60s.

Root Beer is the only one I see there that i would drink by choice or sweet tea if it was fresh. Coke products just don’t do it for me. I like Pepsi stuff better. I can do regular Coke sometimes but it gets old fast.

I never revealed this before, AM (and others), when I was a teenager my big sister had a yellow VW convertible.

Feral cats hanging out on the property. Camera shot was 75 yards away (not so great). They have a creek in the woods and they hangout near my barn. I don't bother them.
