I don't think there were too many automobiles around on Earth 80 million years ago, but petroleum and gasoline were starting "production" and also it would lead to synthetic rubber in later years. In 1933, at the Chicago World's Fair, Sinclair Petroleum a big moving life-size display outside showing some of the guys and gals around on Earth at that time ....... and Goodyear Tires had a sightseeing rubberized blimp that flew around.

Many years ago, I grabbed these frames from a movie my Grandfather took at the Fair. His car undoubtedly used Sinclair gas and had Goodyears tires !
