About the Item

The 1956 original advertising poster by M. Collet for Yacco, titled L'huile des records du monde (The Oil of World Records), was part of an iconic campaign that cemented Yacco's reputation as a leader in high-performance motor oils. The slogan emphasized Yacco’s exceptional quality and its use in setting numerous world records, appealing directly to automotive enthusiasts and professionals seeking superior engine performance. During the mid-20th century, Yacco was synonymous with innovation and excellence in automotive lubrication. The brand's association with world records stemmed from its involvement in motorsport and endurance tests, where Yacco motor oils were consistently used to achieve remarkable feats of engineering and speed. These achievements provided concrete proof of the oil’s reliability and durability under extreme conditions, distinguishing Yacco from its competitors. The poster highlighted Yacco’s status as a premium product trusted by professionals and car manufacturers alike. By associating itself with success and performance on a global stage, Yacco reinforced its image as "the oil of champions." The campaign targeted a broad audience, from everyday drivers to racing enthusiasts, emphasizing that the same oil used to break records could enhance the performance of any vehicle. This advertising strategy reflected the post-war economic boom, a time when cars became more accessible, and the culture of speed, innovation, and adventure captivated public imagination. The promise of world-record-breaking quality aligned perfectly with the aspirations of consumers seeking products that symbolized progress and excellence. Today, this 1956 Yacco poster is a celebrated piece of advertising history. It not only marks a golden age in automotive culture but also showcases the power of branding and marketing in establishing a product's legendary status.
