1949 was the time …..

the place……… Gilmore Stadium !!

This Gilmore Stadium poster is great. Gilmore Stadium was a multi-purpose stadium in Los Angeles, California. It opened in May 1934 and demolished in 1952. The stadium was built by Earl Gilmore, son of Arthur F. Gilmore and president of A. F. Gilmore Oil, a California-based petroleum company which was developed after Arthur struck oil on the family property.

Midget car racing was invented at the track. The track hosted midget car racing from the track’s debut in May 1934 to 1950.The 1939  Turkey Night Grand Prix was held at the track.

Notable drivers that raced at the track include Danny Bakes, Bill Betteridge, Fred Friday, Perry Grimm, Sam Hanks, Curly Mills, Danny Oakes, Roy Russing, Bob Swanson, Bill Vukovich, Rodger Ward, and Karl Young. Drivers that were killed at the track include Ed Haddad, Swede Lindskog, Speedy Lockwood, Frankie Lyons, and Chet Mortemore.

Just some really super cool retro oil ads from Richfield today. These popular prints are 2 of 4 prints I have available. I will create a package deal for the collection. $40 for the 4 sound like a sweet deal, also including a free shipping bonus for buying all four. Now I just have to get my butt in gear and post it. I think on eBay I will also create a Richfield Collection offer.
