Similar idea; not as well executed IMO.

Lots of Union 76 gas promos from the 1960s -1970s for the Dodgers. I got this one signed by Vin Scully at a visit to the stadium in the 'aughts (boy do I miss him):

Volpe's are great! way too young to get them 'live" but have always had an appreciation for them...
