Here is Your Trivia Moment. By Part Numbers You Can Tell the Year the Part Was {Released} For Service. Top D2= 1972 Bottom CO= 1960. Numbers Usually Change on Parts a Bit Throughout Service. Chemicals May Keep Same Number for Life of Issue! I believe the Gt-40 Logo was Started in 1966. For Whatever Reason these Part Numbers are the Same Prefix as Full Size Ford Parts Such as Galaxie or Ltd. The Third Digit A is the Code For Full Size Ford! I think These Style Cans Were Used Quite a Few Years! Up to 90's I think.
Just a Bit of Ford History!
Nice Find!, I bet All your Locks are Lubed Judging By your Collection!
I like that trivia. Thanks! It's interesting that Canada had different cans than the US. I like the skull/crossbones warning on the Canadian tin. Not sure where Rotunda fit into all this Ford stuff but it's cool too.

^^^ That's so cool!! I have never seen that info before, unless I simply forgot. Thanks!!!
Can't remember where I originally heard it, At the Henry Ford House in Florida or one of the things I have watched on Henry Ford or the World's Fair and various sites that it was held at.
Updated photo. Some cans added since I first posted.
There's no telling how many of those Ford and Motocraft super premium oil cans were thrown away by my family, just around the house, let alone at work. Grandpa was a paint and body man at Ford and dad was a Ford mechanic.
