Description
This is a vintage Polly Gas sign. Polly Gas signs are highly desirable by collectors.
Polly Gas was a brand of gasoline that was introduced in the United States in the 1930s. The brand was known for its distinctive logo, which featured a cartoon parrot, and for its high-quality gasoline that was designed to provide reliable engine performance.
Polly Gas was established in California in the 1930s by Paul "Polly" Pollard. Pollard was an entrepreneur who had previously operated a chain of gas stations in the Los Angeles area. He founded the Polly Gas Company with the goal of producing a high-quality gasoline that would be marketed as a premium product.
The Polly Gas brand quickly gained popularity with consumers throughout California, and the company expanded rapidly, opening gas stations in other parts of the United States. The brand was known for its distinctive parrot logo, which was prominently displayed on gas station signs and marketing materials.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Polly Gas continued to expand its business, and the brand became a well-known and respected name in the gasoline industry. The company sponsored racing teams and events, and its logo was featured on the cars of some of the most successful drivers of the era.
However, as the oil and gasoline industry changed in the 1970s and 1980s, the popularity of Polly Gas began to decline. The company faced increased competition from larger gasoline brands, and changes in engine technology made the use of premium gasoline less necessary.
Today, the Polly Gas brand is considered a vintage or antique brand of gasoline, and its parrot logo is a popular collectible item among gasoline memorabilia enthusiasts. However, the brand remains a part of the history of the oil and gasoline industry in the United States and serves as a reminder of a bygone era of American business and industry.
