Blue Coral is still around today, looks as though they used to be an industry standard. Wonder what happened? Cool items, sort of like a "detailers time capsule".

Nice find!

I'm pretty sure the Atlas polish/dust cloth is actually the Kozak cloth as they re-branded the heck out of these for car companies and anyone that wanted to add them to their line of products.

I always liked this shot because that's the fin of the last 1959 Cadillac I owned just 2 years ago...

Oh yea.

Many of the various car companies had their own brand (or shud that be re-branded?) products.

They are fun to find, then smell 'em, feel them, etc...then try and figure out 'whose' product it really is/was.
