Vintage STP Oil Treatment AM Transistor Radio

Rare, vintage GE transistor radio with AM capability, specially manufactured for STP Corporation. From the 1960s. Speaker is located on the top; controls are on the left (on/off) and right (tuning). Uses a 9V battery. Made in Hong Kong by General Electric. Proudly owned by my Dad, displayed more than used; then stored for 45 years. Does not currently work; I have not opened the battery compartment. This is being sold ‘as-is.’ Collectible item. Dimensions= 3” tall; 2.5” approx. diameter See my other STP collector listings. A LITTLE PIECE OF AUTO RACING HISTORY: STP was founded in 1953 and the company’s name was derived from the term “Scientifically Treated Petroleum.” In 1961 Andy Granatelli became both CEO and the public face of STP, often wearing a white suit emblazoned with the red oval “STP” logo to races, distributing thousands of all-weather STP stickers. In just a few years, his persona and skills elevated the company to a multimillion status. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STP_(motor_oil_company) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXMGAnyYoog Advertising, Promotion, Andy Granatelli, General Electric
