Here is a couple of my STP Memories...

Their Indy Cars, including Bobby Unser driving, their Turbo Car and Mario Andretti's only win at Indy in '69:







Sorry, Steve... I used to have a garage full of STP items... But, they all have found "new" homes....

I have had the MAGIC STP can for probably 30 years or longer.It is my under standing that the company got their tail in a bind for the term "magic" and had to quit advertising as such.

wink

I've never been able to find the cans for this. They are a different size then what fits in the other two racks that I showcased earlier in the thread.

That's a cool little rack Dave!
I could be off, but the graphics sure make it look older/earlier than the can that Nelson posted. Same product, just look to be from different era's to me.

Cool stuff everyone!! Thanks for posting!

I found this one in a Shed in Adelaide South Australia 3 days ago. I offered the guy $10 for it.

I don’t know much about STP so I’m not sure if this was a import or they did have distributors here in Australia.
