I have always liked tank car rolling stock from the pre-modern era and Sinclair was one of my favorites. Picked up another Sinclair single dome at the show.
Driving home my car showed less than 1/2 tank of gas so I decided to stop at the next station. Guess what...after a nearly 50 year absence on the NJ highways...Sinclair is back! And, right now, there are 2 Sinclair stations in Warren County, NJ on Rt. 46...complete with a 'Dino' mascot on the front lawn!
Made my day x3.

Hope they open one on LI.
VERY NICE DINO car!
Awesome, NYC Worlds Fair circa 1960's - If I remember correctly they were a major sponsor with a ride.
nice find. there was one Sinclair station around here when I was a kid. never seen another one.
Sinclair was a major player when I worked in their systems department during the sixties. HQ was at 600 Fifth Ave overlooking the skating rink. They transitioned their branding from HC and Power X to Dino and Dino Supreme just before the 64/65 Worlds Fair resulting in the dinosaur becoming an instantly recognizable symbol of the company's products.
I still have my dinosaurs from the 64/65 Worlds Fair.

They are a sponsor for a Nascar ARCA series car. I noticed during the Speedweeks in Feb. Dino large on both sides of the car. RichO spotted a station in Hopewell,NJ.
Whomever ended up with Sinclair Lubricants was smart to rebrand other retail outlets with the Dino. A very recognizable logo.
It's a sign.
