THIS IS OUR 10th EDITION AND WE ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG VERY WELL. I HAVE ABOUT 2 OUNCES OF TIME TO TYPE HERE (SEEMS THE WAY IT'S BEEN LATELY).... SO WHILE I'M OFF ON THE ROAD LOOKING FOR ROAD MAP IMAGES ....I'M GONNA PUT YOU...THE OLDGAS COMMUNITY IN CHARGE TO GET THIS M.O.T.M. STARTED. I WILL JOIN IN SOME COUPLE FEW DAYS DOWN THE ROAD....NO PUN INTENDED..........OKAY-OKAY....PUN INTENDED! WE ARE DOING ATLANTIC THIS MONTH. ATLANTIC WAS IT'S OWN COMPANY UNTIL 1966 WHEN IT MERGED WITH RICHFIELD. SO WE'LL KEEP THE POSTING LIMITED TO "ATLANTIC" AND ONLY "ATLANTIC" UP TO THIS TIME PERIOD. I BELIEVE THEY BECAME KNOWN AS "ARCO" IN THE LATE 60'S - SO YOU CAN SAVE THOSE!! THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL THOSE POSTING AND LOOKING IN. IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT MONTH @ M.O.T.M!

THANKS FOR THOSE HAVING SOME AWESOME GRAPHIC IMAGES. THESE PICS BELOW ARE FROM THE 1949 AUTO ROAD MAP: I THOUGHT THE MAP EXPLANTION BOX INSIDE THE MAP WAS TASTEFULLY DONE WITH THE ILLUSTRATION OF THEIR SIGN POST AS WELL: THANKS!! IP: Logged

WES "THERMACTOR" POINTED OUT THAT THERE'S A '60 CHEVY ON THE COVERS. SO, I WENT BACK AN RE-SEARCHED FOR BETTER INFO AND FOUND IN SMALL PRINT....3-61. SO IT'S REALLY A 1961 ROAD MAP.
