 WELCOME TO "MAP OF THE MONTH" - EDITION #14. THIS MONTH I PICKED "DERBY OIL CO" SINCE ALPHABETICALLY IT FOLLOWS DEEP ROCK AND IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVE GASOLINE AND OIL LOGOS. I HAVE A SMALL INVENTORY OF DERBY MAPS TO INCLUDE HERE AS WELL. BUT, THE UNUSUAL, EARLIER EXAMPLES WILL COME FROM YOU IN THE OLDGAS.COM "MAPHEADS" COMMUNITY. THIS M.O.T.M. THREAD ALSO INCLUDES "SOVEREIGN SERVICE" WHICH WAS OWNED BY DERBY WHICH WAS LATER BOUGHT OUT BY COASTAL CORP IN 1988 MARKING THE END OF THE "DERBY" BRAND. I DON'T HAVE OR KNOW OF ANY "COASTAL" BRANDED ROAD MAPS, SO PLEASE INCLUDE ANY THAT YOU MAY HAVE IF THEY DO INDEED EXSIST. ON THAT NOTE...LET'S LET THE POSTS BEGIN! THANKS!

 In 1967 the Coastal Oil Company issued a map of the Vietnam Conflict, which included a timeline of events from 1945-1967. [This message has been edited by GASMAPS (edited 02-06-2006).] IP: Logged |
