James Montgomery Flag for Quaker State Motor Oil

An advertisement for Quaker State motor oil appeared in the October 13, 1941 issue of Life magazine. It looked back on the unhappy road travelers of a quarter century earlier, reminding us how "crude" some early cars—and their engine lubricants—were. The splendid illustration of the miserable motorists of yesteryear was by James Montgomery Flagg. 

It shook us up . . . in more ways than one!
