Union Oil first Introduced "76" Gasoline in 1932. The name referred to the 1776 United States Declaration of Independence, and was also the Octane Rating of the gasoline in 1932.
Union 76 Invented the Antenna Topper Concept.
Beginning in 1967, Union 76 Company started giving away Styrofoam Antenna Balls—miniature versions of the advertising icon. The promotion was a great success. They were a Symbol of West Coast car culture, and are still in demand today.
In 2005, new corporate owners ConocoPhillips began a rebranding campaign to unify the design elements of each of the merged brands (76, Phillips, and Conoco). As a part of this re-branding, there was an initial decision to pull down all the Orange Ball signs and Replace them with monument-style signs in the Red Orange and Blue color. Worst of all, they started Removing and Destroying the familiar 76 Orange ball signs.

Range Rover: why it is already battling Bentley

Ferrari salutes Sergio Pininfarina
Tue, 03 Jul 2012Ferrari has a singular identity, but the look, the image and the attitude were crafted, elevated and carefully honed largely by another superlative Italian company—Pininfarina. Mindful of this, the Prancing Horse paid tribute to longtime Pininfarina chairman Sergio Pininfarina, who died on July 2 at the age of 85. “Calling his relation with Ferrari legendary is insufficient,” Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo said in a statement.
