Well, there appears to be not much to enlighten us from the rest of the can...

Dear kenmcfadden,

Hello ~
Here's the text from the back of the can: Directions: Effective deodorant action and protection, with a pleasing masculine fragrance. Hold can about six inches from underarm. Point arrow and depress to spray. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin. If rash develops, discontinue use until skin again becomes normal.
Caution: Never spray toward face or open flame. Keep from extreme heat or cold. Do not puncture or incinerate can. Contains: Zinc,Phenosulfonate, Hexachlorophene and Alcohol.
Carroll Shelby Enterprises, Inc., Distr., Los Angeles, California/Made and printed in U.S.A.

Ken, since Carroll Shelby was associated with racing, and while cars were on the race track, they did have to make "Pit Stops"for automotive repairs, hence the name "Pit Stop" deodorant ~ quite a novel name I'd say ~ makes one smile.....after 42 years, this deodorant can is a collectible novelty item only, not intended for personal hygiene. Let me know if you have any other questions I can help you with.
