Give your desk, counter, or garage workspace a Getty Oil reference with this foldable mobile phone display stand. Getty Oil was incorporated by J. Paul Getty in 1942 and grew into a name associated with oil marketing, international concessions, and memorable Northeast station culture. After major transitions involving Texaco and Getty Petroleum Marketing, its graphics still speak to petroleum history collectors. A useful piece for anyone drawn to legacy fuel brands and roadside Americana.
Getty Oil Company was an American oil marketing company with origins in the large integrated oil business founded by J. Paul Getty. Getty incorporated the company in 1942 after earlier working in Oklahoma oil fields with his father, George Getty. Beginning in 1949, J. Paul Getty negotiated a 30-year oil concession in the neutral zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. After his death in 1976, Gordon Getty and his family inherited a 40 percent interest. In 1984, a planned sale to Pennzoil involving Getty and its proven oil reserves gave way to Texaco's acquisition deal, leading to the major Texaco v. Pennzoil litigation. Getty's reserves were sold, while only some refineries changed hands, and the business continued as a downstream entity. Northeast Getty stations were sold as a condition of the buyout, and the company became Getty Petroleum Marketing Inc. Its marketing and distribution segments were spun off in 1997, sold to Lukoil in 2000, and later sold to Cambridge Securities LLC in 2011. Getty Oil went defunct in 2012.
