Some classic oils for your viewing pleasure

I came across this pic in my phone I took several months ago when we bought a used car. This is a local automotive repair/used car lot. I went into the office and noticed this on their wall:

These are all unopened cans.

I remember my dad using oil cans like that when I was a kid.

My Dad owned an ESSO Station and I wish I would have kept some lubes just for fun. Years ago, I did give my BIL some ESSO Dexron Automatic Transmission Fluid in pint cans and he may still have a few remaining. I remember the old slogan of "Put a Tiger in your tank".

You know you're old when you used these all and still have the push in spout on your shelf.

I used to buy that Quaker State Deluxe by the 24-can carton at Woolco. Just under a (Canadian) $/can, as I recall. Kept the entre carton in the trunk of my oil-guzzling '68 Impala.

There's a few in there that I never heard of: Top Kik, Getty, and the one in the middle (Skelly). The rest I remember from my childhood (I was born in '69).

Top kik and skelly are new to me also. Getty is a well known petroleum outfit especially in the north east where I grew up.

Well if they're regional, that would make sense why I never heard of them. I grew up on the west coast.
