This is many years after Mr Sinclair's passing, here's a story that I remember like it was yesterday! My dad had a 1970 white Ford pickup truck that had out one night, now this was 1976. I was coming down Lindbergh heading toward South County mall when a driver heading north bound fell asleep and hit me head on, it totaled my dads truck and I had to wake the guy up after the accident. The white truck was taken the Ford dealership at Lemay And Lindbergh. That Monday evening My dad and I were...

Mr.Sinclair's commercial was one of the first I remember seeing on television as a child. He was one of the best people Ford could have anywhere. His touting of American brands was second to none. He was a class act and will be missed all over the midwest.

I extend condolences to Mr. Sinclair's family. He was a wonderful man, very compassionate. I accompanied my mother to his South County Ford dealership in 1979, just months after my father had died. My mother was quite emotional as she shopped for a car to replace the one my father had "nursed along" until his death.
