OK, I'll bite; what exactly is "Zerolene"? Never heard of it.

Nice pic Jay, Thanks!

What's with the goofy hats?

By Walter Higgins on Thursday, January 08, 2015 - 01:14 pm:

What's up with the hats?

By Burger in Spokane on Thursday, January 08, 2015 - 01:20 pm:

It's not just the hats, .... it's the slacks and shirts too. Looks like people from 1922 and 1962 met on the street for a photo.

Twilight Zone ?

Someone will know when Zerolene came out or you can google it but here is what we sold in the 60's.

As for the outfits I think they are Bikers rather than Model T guys. %0/.

I used to use Zeroline oil. It was sold at Chevron Stations. Standard Oil of California. Now all their stations are called Chevron Stations. Used to be the stations owned by the oil company were Standard Stations and those franchised were Chevron Stations.

I still remember the ads on T.V. and the announcer saying- "Available at you nearby Chevron-Standard Station".

I don't think I've ever seen a Red Crown gasoline sigh.
There is an advertisement next to the Zerolene sign on the banner.

Names on sweaters and funny hats...Frat reunion?

By Ken Kopsky, Lytle TX on Thursday, January 08, 2015 - 08:28 pm:

According Old Auto News, it was called Zerolene because the oil was free-flowing at zero degrees. Similar to 0W-30 or 0W-40 today. It was oil diluted with solvents. Hey, just like MMO. :-)
