There is one more version that I have been wanting but last time I saw it it went for well over $300. Top half is orange, bottom white with the more detailed version of the racecar driver like the all orange one and no triangle design. It must be rarer as I do not see them near as often as the all orange one

Are the cardboard Oilzum cans worth anything. I have one that looks just like the two with the driver in the orange triangle

Like the one in the middle. It's newer then the Orange but they must have not used this can very long as you don't see them that often.

I have seen 3 versions of the orange can... "Motor Oil", "Pennsylvania" and "America's Finest Oil"...

I don't remember seeing a qt with the top orange and bottom white... Doesn't mean there wasn't one, just means my memory sometimes isn't the best... I have a similar colored can. It has a white top and orange bottom....



Composite cans (cardboard) depending on condition... Frequently sell for between $10-$30....
