Throw Back Thursday
When was the last time you saw oil in an all metal can? I remember cardboard cans with metal tops that used to buckle as you tried to insert a number of different types of spouts, or did you just stab them with your favorite screwdriver? AMSOIL introduced 20W/50 in 1978 just six years after the company's founding in 1972. Bottles and plastic, replaced metal cans in the early Eighties. An entire case was found at a garage sale and an ingenious handy man made a tribute trophy out of a couple of them, the rest will go to dedicated AMSOIL Dealers and one in my collection.
Recently I met a long time AMSOIL user at the annual Oak Harbor Car Show this summer. He thought I might be interested in some old AMSOIL cans. Because AMSOIL products had given him such outstanding results in his vehicles over the years, he built a trophy to honor AMSOIL. He related a story of finding a full case of AMSOIL 20W/50 Racing oil at a garage sale, being a fan he immediately purchased them. As the owner of two classic cars, an avid car show participant, and an AMSOIL user since the early days of the company, he wanted to do something to show his appreciation for all the years he used these outstanding products. I think he hit a home run. As a long time AMSOIL Dealer myself, I will display it and pass it down to a future AMSOIL Dealer as a point of pride and inspiration.
