estate sales are the gold mine of cool stuff that's been hidden for decades... this original fiberglass ESSO Tiger was for sale at a July estate sale in West Hills, California




Esso was not the only company to use the tigers, they were sold to car dealerships, amusement parks, zoos and high schools as well.


made by International Fiberglass in 1966

  1. And do we remember the joke of that time? "How can Esso get a tiger in your tank when I can't even get a little pussy in the back seat?"

  2. Reminds me of the Gulf No-Nox advertising campaign. It gives you an extra kick. They gave away a little pair of orange plastic horse shoes you could stick on your car.
