Hand Drawn Automobile Radiator Cover of Canvas with Hitler and Tojo World War Two Folk Art
Hand Drawn Automobile Radiator Cover of Canvas with Hitler and Tojo World War Two Folk Art. Patriotic instructions "Do you Drive 35?" is likely a reference to gas rationing during World War Two. A shortage of gasoline was not the problem...it was rubber. It was believed the only way to preserve tires was to limit the amount of driving Americans could do, so drivers were limited by the amount of gas they could purchase. Circa 1940.
