I thought STP meant ''saves the parts''.

Never heard that one,but it fits.

That's what we used to call STP back in the day.

Ha! Way back when (in sixties...yup, I'm ancient), there was an old goofy tale in the Canadian prairies that STP was built from the ashes of the old Studebaker company. And "STP" stood for "Studebaker Tickled Pink".

Anyway, very neat display item.

Although not as Wayne's tale above, there was an association between Studebaker and STP..
Our friends were a Stude dealer to the end (actually still operating today too) and years ago they showed me the original tiny jar of STP product sent to them by Studebaker Packard Corp. when SPC owned STP...late 50's/very early 60's I believe?.

Very C

L piece Rick!.

That's true.
The early sTp 8oz. cyl. cans declare "a product of Studebaker" as their manufacturer on the lower back bottom.
Sometime around 1969-70,they dropped that per owner Andy Granatelli I believe.

So the cans that have the word MAGIC above the STP name and marked Studebaker-Packard must be from the earlier 60's than the one you posted Rick?.

Ever seen or heard of the little glass jars of STP?.
They may've been samples and not retail items?.

Back when we were kids, we used to pester the guys at the gas station for theie STP stickers almost daily.

STP to us meant 'Stinky Toilet Paper'
