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 !

Then spray painted with Testors model paint. After drying I added the taillights and painted center of steering wheel.

Think it came out pretty good.
