Veedol Motor Oil Popeye Approved 1952 Porcelain Enamel Sign (12in)

Veedol Motor Oil with Popeye—Thumbs-Up Approved Since 1952

Back when motor oil came in cans, gas stations had real mechanics, and cartoon icons were used to sell the best brands in the business, Veedol was a trusted name under every hood. This 1952 design featuring Popeye the Sailor Man giving his signature thumbs-up captures that unbeatable mix of rugged dependability and bold American character.

This vintage-style 12” porcelain sign celebrates the partnership of Veedol Motor Oil and classic pop culture, with rich navy blue and yellow tones, bold red lettering, and a big helping of 1950s nostalgia. It’s a perfect addition to any collection of vintage garage signs, motor oil memorabilia, or classic cartoon Americana.

Remember when things were built to last? When craftsmanship mattered?

We do too. That’s why we don’t cut corners. This Veedol Motor Oil with Popeye 12” Porcelain Sign is built exactly like the originals—real kiln-fired porcelain enamel, layered onto ¼-inch heavy-gauge steel for a finish that lasts a lifetime.

Built Like the Originals—Because It Is.

After 15 years as an auctioneer and lifelong collector, I saw firsthand how true craftsmanship was disappearing. Today’s market is flooded with flimsy aluminum replicas and cheap stickers.
