From Ben-Hur to Le Mans, Sears has left its mark on history. Just like the iconic chariot race scene in the epic film Ben-Hur, it has always been a symbol of speed and excellence. General Lew Wallace's book brought us tales of adventure and triumph, much like the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO driven by Sears/Salmon at Le Mans. But Sears is not just about thrilling races and literature; it extends its influence to aviation as well. The Gulfstream III N902C represents luxury and sophistication, embodying the spirit of Sears. And let's not forget Hillen Station in Baltimore or the massive plant in Chicago – these are testaments to Sears' industrial might. The pressroom at Sears Roebuck & Co showcases their dedication to quality printing and communication. Meanwhile, their building stands tall as a symbol of progress in Chicago's skyline since 1899. Sears even made an appearance in The Galaxy magazine with 'She Turned her Face to the Window, ' captivating readers with stories that transcend time. And who can forget R. D. Sears, champion American lawn tennis player? His skill on the court mirrors Sears' commitment to excellence across all fields. Lastly, we have J. Sears leading Ford Anglia through wet tracks at Brands Hatch in 1963 – a testament to both his driving skills and Ford Galaxie's power under challenging conditions.
