Gulf No-nox Horseshoes

<p>Back in the 60's Gulf ran a No-nox (no knocks i.e. pinging, detonation, etc) campaign for their gas that said it gave your engine extra kick. &nbsp;The ad ended with a couple clink clanks accompanying horseshoes as though a horse kicked a couple times. &nbsp;At some point they started giving out these blow molded orange plastic horse shoes when you got a fill up. You'd stick them to your windshield or us kids would just play with them until they inevitably broke. &nbsp;They were suuuper thin and fragile blow molded plastic of the variety they use in a chocolate box. &nbsp;TThey we're guaranteed to break which caused us kids to nag our parents until we got another at the next fill up. &nbsp;The fact that so many still exist today is testament to how many they must have given out.</p><p>Anyway this is generally modeled from an original. &nbsp;Originals were made as cheaply as possible and vary wildly in shape, symmetry, and all sorts of other details. &nbsp;The originals I used to model (in one of the pics) weren't terrible but far from perfect. &nbsp;Mine are symmetrical. &nbsp;Printed in PETG, I think Hatchbox orange seems close to my memory of the original orange . &nbsp;All of the originals seem to have gone dark for whatever reason and look more burnt orange. &nbsp;If you're going to curve them a little for a windshield do it while they're very warm. &nbsp;</p>
