MEET ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST SPECTACULAR CARS!
The Mobilgas Special is both one of the nation's
finest examples of custom-car creation and a
vehicle with a movie-star background!
Its fame stems from its use as the "Topper
car" in the movie series by that name, when
Cary Grant drove it in films seen by many
millions of people.
Now completely rebuilt, the sleek car is both
a model of fine craftsmanship and a utilitar-
ian vehicle containing powerful public address
equipment. The beautiful car and the services
of its operator are loaned for civic and sports
events so that a running description of the
action can be carried over an area of 100
acres if necessary.
The Mobilgas Special is seen annually by
Mobilgas
SOCONY VACUUM
more than three million people when it serves
at such events as the Tournament of Roses
Parade in Pasadena; the California State Fair;
boat races; rodeos; horse shows and automobile
races. It has traveled over 200,000 miles in the
service of its owner, General Petroleum Corpo-
ration, makers of Mobiloil and Mobilgas Special.
The car is powered by a new 235-horse-
power Chrysler engine in a modified Chrysler
Imperial Newport chassis. The body, originally
created for the Topper films by Bohman & Son
in 1937, is an example of classic design that
continues to be in vogue. The car's top speed-
which has never been attempted - is estimated
at 125 miles per hour. Cost of the vehicle is
put at $40,000.
THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR IS FULLY PROTECTED BY MOBILOIL SPECIAL,
THE BEST OIL MONEY CAN BUY, AND POWERED BY
MOBILGAS SPECIAL, THE GASOLINE THAT GIVES UP TO 25% MORE POWER.
YOUR CAR DESERVES MOBILOIL AND MOBILGAS SPECIAL!
