“It helps your oil do a better job.”

On this fine, sunny Saturday, I’ve got a pair of STP Oil Treatment commercials ready to pour. First up, a spot from October, 1971 featuring some early 70s race cars. After that, a spot from February, 1976.

You can compare STP advertising over a 5-year gap with these. The can certainly didn’t change much in that time frame. Pretty slick.

The weekend is arriving. Time to cool your jets and put your feet up. To help you slip into the relaxed mood, here’s The Brady Kids (from Filmation’s 1972 cartoon series) singing “In No Hurry.”

“In No hurry” appeared on the ’72 L.P., The Kids From The Brady Bunch coupled with the tune “Candy (Sugar Shoppe).” Even if you’re in a hurry, the song runs less than two minutes. Spin it – and have a happy Funshine Friday!
