Here is a brochure from the Sinclair Gasoline exhibit at the New York World's Fair when our family visited in 1964-1965. My Mom's family visited the Sinclair full-size moving dinosaur exhibit and my Grandfather filmed it in 1933-1934 in Chicago's Century of Progress World's Fair, so I have souvenirs from both displays from Sinclair.

Great stuff and love the old dinosaur pictures. I've collected a few dinosaur models and display them along with my diecasts. Here's 2 with some "extinct" autos.

Nice ! I can't say I am too upset Mr. Triceratops and Mr. Stegesaurous are extinct and not roaming around, but I do wish Packards, Studebakers and Metropolitans were still here on the roads, lol !

About 60 years or so ago my Dad bought my little sister an inflatable Dino at the local Sinclair station. If I’m remembering correctly it had to be about 3 foot long and she adored it.

Sinclair definitely utilized the dinosaur theme and used it to their great advantage ! Smile
