Anyone recognize this billboard?

The one on the right is a Falstaff ad.  But the one the left I can't figure out.  An eastcoast biased forum may not be the best venue (it could be more local to Iowa), but I thought I'd give it a shot.

By the looks of the can, it's either beer or soda.  I've tried most of the obvious guesses for the spelling but have come up empty.

Anyone know?

Looks to me like the top line reads "Your Car Needs"...

Spot Oil could be..

Ah, nice.  I had given up on oil around 2 am.  I wasn't even close to seeing some of the lettering as artifacts.

Thanks.

Anyone care to read the rest?  :)


"Your car needs" looks promising.

Maybe some old car mags would have something.

Spot Oil it is.  Tried looking at listings of both beers and sodas of the world and nothing came close.

If I can't find an ad somewhere down the line, there is certainly enough written on the can to come up with something plausible.
