Viva La Google!

oldgas.com has some information. "The Chevron Island promotion was advertised nationally...They had a tropical girl dressed in a hula skirt. She attended all of the regional dealer meetings...Chevron Island license plates...were given away at grand openings while this promotion was going on."

At the bottom ofthis page there is a 1970 photo where a Chevron Island sign can be seen over the pumps. Also a different metal one used for dealer meetings and some of the promo license plates.

This page has the same photos and some auction estimates for it.

The posts at oldgas.com estimate the signs were used in the late 60s, outdoors. "This plastic was very fragile and not meant to last. This sign is very hard to find in one piece."
