Roar with Gilmore
Night photo of a rusty Roar with Gilmore gas pump. Gilmore Oil was known for over-the-top promotion, and sponsored daredevils like Roscoe Turner, who flew with Gilmore the flying lion and John Cobb, who drove the Railton Red Lion to set a land speed record of 370 miles per hour (595.0 km/h). Illuminated by a full moon and a handheld ProtoMachines LED2. Special thanks to the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association, where this is now preserved.
