Phil Hill Shell Ad

Champion

This is Phil Hill — current World Champion Racing Driver and the first American to hold this honor.

He drove as a member of the Ferrari team, and he used exclusively Supershell with I.C.A. and Shell X-100 Moto Oil — as most good drivers do.

Shell products are chosen by champions all over the world.
It’s got to be good to be Shell.

Not too many road racers got good endorsement contracts; I wonder if this one came as a parcel with Ferrari’s contract. Did this ad run in national general interest mags or just in the auto press? I don’t remember.
