Please post up anything and everything that is STP. According to wiki, the company started in 1953 with it's additive. So I'm hoping to see some stuff dated back that far. Some 50's era displays would be very cool!!
So lets see what you got!
I would start it off but I dont have any. Would like to have some though.
Thanks

As you know Steve, I like Mopars. Mopars, Richard Petty and STP go hand in hand. I have some STP smalls that are put away.

These are the two racks I have. Usually, people don't notice that there is two racks a Racer's Edge version and a Quiets Motors version. Racer's Edge is taller because it has row of Antifreeze additive cans.

I have a stack of STP stickers from way back when, I think I still know what box they are in.

Who was it years ago in a commercial, Andy Graniteli, that tried holding a screwdriver in his fingers covered with STP?
Maybe someone can unearth that old commercial.

I tried searching for the commercial and didn't find it. But I learned; STP = Scientifically Treated Petroleum.

Looks like there is not a whole lot of this stuff in the OG community. Great looking racks guys. Would be cool to have one of those signs off the top. And I've never seen that Magic can before.
I was hoping for a porcelain piece. If there ever even was one.

Keep it coming if there is any more out there!

I was told years ago that STP stood for Studebakers Top Product. Ted

From Wiki

Founded in 1953 in Saint Joseph, Missouri, the company’s name, STP, was derived from “Scientifically Treated Petroleum”.[1] The company entered into the marketplace with one product, STP Oil Treatment.

In 1961, the company was acquired by the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. Studebaker BRIEFLY tied STP into its advertising as an abbreviation for “Studebaker Tested Products”.
