How the colors for Richard Petty came about
Granatelli was looking for a well-known face to represent his product, and Petty, known as The King, was a perfect fit given that he was as comfortable under the hood as behind the wheel. Petty knew what STP, the sponsor and the product, could do for his team. “Granatelli had made up his mind that he wanted to sign us up,” Petty explained. “So, when we went in, he said, “Here’s the contract, here’s the deal: 0,000 for a sponsorship and we want to advertise you all over the country.’
It all sounded good to The King. Then the issue of the paint scheme came up.
“We talked to Granatelli and everything was chugging along. We agreed on a contract and as we got up to leave he said, ‘By the way, the car will be Day-Glo Red,’ which is STP colors. I said, ‘No way. The car’s got to be Petty Blue.’ I got up to leave. That’s how stubborn I was. And he was pretty stubborn, too.” Petty grinned as he recalled the moment.
“I guess I wasn’t too bright to say no,” he said. “We had nothing, no sponsorship, and I was turning down 0,000.”
Cooler heads prevailed as Granatelli suggested Petty think about it overnight.
The next morning, a compromise was reached creating the iconic Day-Glo Red and Petty Blue race cars that The King, long the most popular driver in the sport and still a fan favorite as a team owner and ambassador for stock car racing, drove for the rest of his career. It was a huge deal for STP and Granatelli, who had been unable to get into NASCAR because Pure Oil had an exclusive deal with the series.
And the rest is history. This can was only made for 1 year .  If you doubt the can or the signatures then don't bid. The Pettys wasn't handing out COAs at the race track.   Good luck on getting this Nascar dream can.
