Vintage Pure Firebird gasoline magazine advertisement claiming 4 of 5 cars in the Daytona Continental were Firebird-powered.
This document is a reproduction of a vintage magazine advertisement (page 118, credited to Car and Driver) for PURE Firebird Racing Gasoline, photographed on an easel in front of a red vehicle. The ad features a large black-and-white aerial photograph of sports racing cars competing on the banked tri-oval of a speedway during the Daytona Continental. The headline states, "Gasoline? in the Daytona Continental, 4 out of 5 cars were powered by Firebird." The body copy describes the Daytona Continental as 2000 kilometers (twelve hours) of flat-out racing, claiming 4 out of 5 drivers used PURE Firebird Racing Gasoline and that Firebird Racing Gasolines set more racing records than any other brand, inviting readers to verify with NASCAR. It promotes PURE Firebird Super pump gasoline as containing the same chemical ingredients and "Tri-tane" additive package as the racing fuel, blended for consumer high-performance engines, and describes Firebird as an "anti-wear" gasoline that reduces engine wear for fewer repairs, better performance, and longer engine life. The ad closes with the slogan "Fire Up With Firebird" alongside the PURE logo. This is period advertising literature, not a technical reference; it contains no fuse data, wiring information, or vehicle-specific specifications.
