Stopped in a little thrift shop I've never been to before. Went to the toy section and was all junk but on a shelf about a foot off the ground stuffed way in the back barely visible was this! no price so I asked the lady and she said a $1!
 

 


I don't know hardly anything about tether cars but from what I gathered this is the first iteration of the Rodzy from the early '50s. Guess they moved to Sonoma around '53 or '54 and changed the tooling to blank out the Chino on the bottom.

I'm not a tether racer either, Mark. That's a great find for only a buck, even if it never runs again. My guess is there are old books and some online information on tether cars and their racing.

Surprisingly it seems pretty popular. I’d say even less niche than slot cars. Amazingly you can still buy like every part for this car to fix it. These are pretty big money so glad I like my cheaper sicknesses.
