That’s nice there was a very old gas station a few miles from my house
it was closed for years the building was gutted .
I drove by it and paired on a partially torn down wall was the Sinclair
Dinosaur I had never seen a Sinclair sign before!!
(The old gas station is in a very bad part of town)
I don’t go by there very often
