Looks like Don Prudhomme gave it a try
the last two lines might not get your attention, but, the mention of Auto World in Scranton PA at the end of the ad ought to give you a laugh! The contact name of Oscar was surely Oscar Koveleski, the lifetime President of the P.R.D.A. (Polish Racing Drivers of America)
the yellow tires on the back are from the Goodyear try at making bike tires in brite colors

Jesse, never saw the "Drag Bike", or should I say trike? But that's the coolest thing going That I've seen in a while. Speaking of Oscar, back in the 70's my friend Mike and I went took a trip down to see him and his Auto World store. He was very friendly and we chatted with him for a bite and he gave us some P.R.D.A swag. I still have it somewhere around my chaos. Hope to find it some day. Oscar is one cool dude.
