Default Ever seen this??

I was rummaging around in a desk drawer today and found this......I don't know what to call it!
I remember someone giving it to me around 1990-1991.
It's cotton, measures 52"22".
I've never seen another one.
Does anyone have any info on this??
Maybe it was a promotional item.
Maybe worth framing instead of languishing in a desk drawer no?

seems like there are hundreds of these out there.
probably was a dealership thing. today, the dealer can do anything he wants and gets a ton of china stuff, i quit buying it, toooooo many bad experiences and nothing you can do. if the dealer wants to make it an official hd item, they pay hd a fee and they get the rights to add official hd markings. bought a lot of stuff in indianapolis and when i got home, in a few weeks it was shinola, called the dealer and they offered to replace the china junk, called the factory to complain and found out the above.
