driving through the decades
written by Holly Leleux-Thubron
Ready to hit the open road? Return to yesteryear of West “By Gosh” Virginia as we drive through the decades using vintage travel publications as our guide. As a 1925 Standard Oil Company Know Your Own State publication says: “There’s a thrill in the throb of a brand new car. There’s sport in a spurt of speed. Some folks get their fun from a long day’s run and some from a roadside feed. But it seems to us that the people who get the most pleasure from their car—pleasure that lasts and grows as the years go by—are those who use it to gain for themselves and their families knowledge and enjoyment of all the interesting places and things their state has to offer them.”
