    Sinclair Dinosaur exhibits in the 60s

    Does anyone remember the large scale Dinosaur exhibits the Sinclair(the oil company) would travel around with?
    Locally here in Rochester at our Pittsford Plaza I have kind of vague memories of it.
    I remember the true to size dinosaurs on movable floats in the parking lot and various other exhibits.
    One really curious thing was that they had vending machines, large ones, that you could get wax dinosaurs as souveniers of. Problem was, on a hot day, they would all melt.

    Anyone else remember this?

    Love the Sinclair oil promos. When I was a kid we had dinosaur soap.
    Too many toys. Not enough space!

        Was that the device that created the wax dinosaurs?

          Never heard of Sinclair Oil but it makes perfect sense now that was the families name on the TV show Dinosaurs.
