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!
