I've researched a little of the history of Hood Tire but find more on the shoes than anything.
Educate me! Got several generations of petro knowledge in my family and never heard of Hood. (Which is surprising!)
Came across a sign. Can't find anything similar online. Looking for time period, rarity?, color diff (most I see online are blue/red) and resources on where I can find more info on dating this sign, as well as any significant historical interest.
Help a youngin' out please!

Can you share any history on it? Time period? Why it's black and yellow vs blue and red? It was from inside a building that dates back to the early 1900s in a historic town so I'm lost on time frames.

A member here from Spain of all places wrote a great piece on them. I searched "hood tires" and found it immediately BTW... https://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=723333

"I searched "hood tires" and found it immediately BTW..." YES! Isn't that the truth? One of my pet peeves, now that I'm an old geezer! John

I hope you found the Hood Tire & Rubber Co writeup useful. Its nice to see a "youngin" with interest in this stuff, and not just another picker looking for values/etc...
Unfortunately, the vast wealth of knowledge from the members here isn't shared anymore. 20 years ago, different story. (Pre-picker show)
Im guessing this is 50s era? Wish i could help with your questions. I don't have any info on the sign of subject, to speak on it.
