"Safety Series" Matchbook Covers! (Part 1)

Yesterday we took a look at a 1956 Wiseman-drawn safety comic. Today? Why, we're going to keep the theme going with a 1956 Wiseman-drawn driving-safety matchbook cover.

Similar to yesterday's comic, this matchbook cover looks like it might appeal to kids. But it's obviously intended for a more mature consumer base. Most likely a consumer base consisting entirely of adult smokers who drive cars and may (or may not) be frogs.
