I think it was Texaco you could send a postcard with your destinations and they would send you a trip ticket with the best route marked out. I think AAA did that also.

When I was a little child, my father would use AAA trip ticks traveling from one military installation to another. In those days the so called highway system was only partially done so you ended up driving on some very slow 2 lane roads.
The trip ticks was a spiral bound booklet with the route done in highlighter and as you drive you flip the pages over to continue on the correct route to your destination.

Newbie....... We didn't have printers. We had to go down to the Shell station on the corner and get maps. Of course, back then, the maps were free.

I remember those and the little troubleshooting pamphlets that Shell offered along with the maps. I collected them for 💩💩 and giggles, because my grandpa owned a Texaco station. Best auto repair in NW Indiana!

My gramps & dad bestowed upon me all of the automotive know-how they possessed. Unfortunately, the same didn't apply to the $500,000 worth of Snap-On tools, which curiously were stolen the literal day after my dad passed. Sadly, I know who did it but as any cop worth his salt will tell you, it's not what you know but what you can PROVE.
