Artifact Overview

American automakers turned their employees and facilities to the production of war materiel during World War II. Drivers had to make their current cars last -- there were no new replacements to buy. Sunoco Oil, with a little help from Mickey Mouse, encouraged drivers to protect their automobiles by using its motor oils.
