I WAS AT THE GREAT "CLINTON ENGINES MUSEUM" YESTERDAY FOR THE
BROWN BAG LUNCH PROGRAM BY LOWELL CARLSON ABOUT THE
THE FAMOUS MAQUOKETA PAINTER (CARSON) AND TOOK THIS PHOTO OF
A CLINTON ENGINES MOTORBIKE.

AND THEY ALSO MANUFACTURED AN ALL TERRAIN BIKE, ABOVE.
NOTE, IT IS ON A TRACK.    WONDER IF IT WORKED?
HOPEFULLY BILL  LUCKEY WILL FILL US IN.

I  VISITED THE MODERN MEN'S ROOM AND THE ABOVE WAS ON THE WALL.
NOTE, UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER, LARRY HAGER PAINTING NAME ON
CLINTON ENGINES VEHICLE.    LARRY, NOW 90+ LIVES IN MARSHALLTOWN.
IT IS SUPER BOWL TIME.  
CLINTON ENGINES WAS A FOOTBALL SPONSOR BACK IN THE EARLY TV DAYS.
IN 1958, IT SPONSORED THE ENTIRE 2ND QUARTER OF A PLAYOFF-GAME.
GOOGLE CLINTON ENGINES NETWORK TV FOOTBALL COMMERCIAL AND YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR THE  COMMERCIAL.    SOME SAY CLINTON ENGINES
WAS A SPONSOR OF THE FIRST SUPER BOWL GAME.    I'M NOT SURE THAT
IS RIGHT?    ANYONE KNOW?   I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT OWNER DON THOMAS DID THE COMMERCIAL AND IT COST THE COMPANY $250,000.
SO, FILL ME IN CLINTON ENGINES HISTORIANS!
