"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
There's a Sinclair near my house. They still have the dinosaur logo. I've read they made up that oil is from dead stuff [fossil fuel)to make it seem like a limited resource.
When I was a kid, Sinclair stations were my favorite, because of the dinosaur. My brother and I had inflatable Sinclair dinosaur float toys which had been offered at a local station as a promotion.
I was always partial to Esso for the "Put a tiger in your tank" campaign. And they sold little tiger tails at the stations you could put on your antenna. I did see a few tiger tails sticking out from under gas cap cover though, which was always funny.
I got the Hess truck every year. I wish I still had at least a couple. They, like my GI Joes, did not survive the BB gun wars. Many a toy met its match in a Crossman 761 (the 761 was a 760 with wood furniture, my scumbag brother stole it and sold it)

The car in the commercial looks like it might an Oldsmobile Toronado.
