GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give the refrigerator, file cabinet, or workspace a compact piece of petroleum-brand nostalgia with this Getty Oil square porcelain fridge magnet. Getty Oil’s story began with J. Paul Getty’s oil-field background and the company’s 1942 incorporation, then extended to the Neutral Zone and the service-station culture of the Northeastern United States. Its later Getty Petroleum Marketing identity makes the name especially resonant for collectors of historic fuel brands, roadside graphics, and American corporate history.
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.
