I bought more Ford cans this past week at a show in TN. the Rotunda is a bit rusty but for $11 what the heck, it will look good up on the cabinet. Time for some re-arranging again.
I Was Selling Those Over the Counter in My Early Days! With The Exception of The Upholstory Cleaner! Little Did We Know We Were Selling Art in a Can as Well!
I Have Had This Oil Change Sticker Roll Forever & Used To Give Out a Couple of Stickers With My Vintage Orders as a Bonus. The Stick Has Finally Dried Out But The Colors are Bright. I Did a Good Scan & Thought Maybe You Might Want to Print it Out And Use in Your Display.
My Friend While it is a Beautiful can I Think it's Late 70's to 80's The Ford GT Logo Copyright Was From 1966 So Be Advised! Notice the Circle C on the Lube Oil Sticker I Posted. It Was On Our Oem FORD Parts Boxes Forever! The Sticker is Actually Circa 1988!
Here we go again. I bought this unusual blue can dated from 1966. A little missing paint along the bottom lid but in good shape.
If it's from the era KC said, my family would have been using it and I can't recall a blue oil can. Could have forgotten though.
Awesome looking can, I like it.
Would Look Good in a Grabber Blue Displayed Boss 429 at a Car Show!
I Was Selling Ford Parts in the Early 80's and Honestly The Oil Cans Were Not Something I Put a Lot of Thought into at The Time. I Will Have To Check My Vintage Motorcraft Books For a Better Look At That Era! Personally I Was Always a Multi Viscosity Guy When it Came To Oil! Especially With Our Wild Temperature Swings in Central California!

Update Vintage 1982 Ad Similar Style Can! The Multi Vis Stuff Got All The Hype!

Interesting. I just went by the this on the can. Also no UPC which came out in the 70's. I certainly wasn't driving back in the 60's so no way I can verify. Even the 70's or 80's is fine in my book as far as my collection.

I agree with you, I think it's probably a little older. Either way, it's a great looking can and I've never seen one I recall.

Time to update again. I somehow got this NOS (new old stock) Rotunda cloth for $20 the other day. It is unreal and the cloth inside is perfect! I've seen asking prices on these for $100 in the past. Of course this made it necessary to update my display again. I have the Rotunda right next to my other Ford cloths.
