Put a tiger in your tank. (Esso changes its name to Exxon commercial, 1972)
“We’re changing our name – but not our stripes.”
We’re cranking the vintage wheel all the way back to 1972 today. First up, a rare find of an animated spot where Esso announces a name change to Exxon. The commercial aired in November of 1972.
After that, a commercial for STP oil filters featuring company CEO and former race car driver, Andy Granatelli.
