Sinclair Oil
Earlier back in my description of the Illinois part of Route 66, I gave a little bit of detail about the roles of Sinclair Oil Company and Standard Oil Company. I posted Standard Oil Company's mascot Dino, which was found on top of a tire store in Wilmington, but could never find a good picture of Sinclair's emblem until approaching the Tucumucari city limits and finding the Paradise Motel right off the main road. This is from part of the wall of the Paradise Cafe which volunteers painstakingly restored.
I could never figure out why the Sinclair mascot evoked such warm memories in me, until I recently located a picture of me when I was two - hugging a plastic miniature Dino that they used to give away to kids at the gas station!
