About this Vintage Print Ad

This advertisement highlights the durability and protective qualities of Conoco Super Motor Oil, using the metaphor of the 'Hungry Horse Highball,' a giant steel ball used in forest clearing for the Hungry Horse dam in Montana. The ad claims that engines lubricated with Conoco Super Motor Oil showed virtually no wear after a 50,000-mile road test, thanks to its exclusive oil-plating technology. The ad emphasizes the product's ability to extend engine life and protect against wear, even under extreme conditions.
