Any grease today is better than what was used when the cars were new. I use the red synthetic stuff just because that's what I had.
Randy Gross bought up all the old "Sta-Lube" made grease described as "old style" that he could find. I got a can from him when he did my cast iron drums. I use it in the wheel bearings. Sta-Lube is now owned by CRC and they don't make it anymore.

Color and Texture:
The "old style" Sta-Lube wheel bearing grease was known for being thick, yellow, and fibrous, with a consistency similar to other "old-time" greases of that era.
Use:
It was specifically formulated for use in drum brake systems on older vehicles.
Brand:
It was a product from Sta-Lube, which was a brand name with a long history in automotive and marine lubricants before being acquired by CRC Industries.
