I used to have a Hybrid 1950 Ford Pickup. It used both Gas and Oil.
I figure it burned a quart of Oil with every Tank of Gas.
I was ahead of my time 40 odd years ago.
First I can remember was in late 50’s and gas was $.19 a gallon. Haven’t a clue what oil cost but do remember they always checked it for me while my car was filling up with gas and they added whatever was needed. Ah - the good old days.
My dad had an old pickup that was a real oil burner and he always carried extra oil with him. We used to tell the kids that running out of gas was a whole lot easier to deal with than running out of oil.
Your recollections give a whole new meaning to the word hybrid.
