When you post these ads would you kindly note the date of the ad (if you have it); this way we can see the development of the cars.
Thanks,

Almost all of these ads are snagged from Facebook, which means I have no idea of where or when they were published. Sorry...

It will all be covered in a much-anticipated book.

Maybe someone can identify the awesome Can-Am car the Oscar Kovelski Auto World McLaren is dueling with on the track.

Fire the ad agency, would ya believe it the did release a Ferrari 158, but it was nothing like the quality of the Brabham:
I especially like the Americam Mag chrome wheels... not!

Here are a few ads that ran in the DC comic mags that hit newsstands in November 1965:

It was in all the model car mags Vay.
Just by chance, happened to open to the right page on my index and it was in the Jan 65 issue of Model Car & Track, for instance...

Fall of '63 is when the first Revell cars were announced, and I think it was mostly components - their kits would be end of the year or early '64...

Do you know where that ad appeared?
Vay, I'm grabbing these ad scans off Facebook and in general have no idea where they appeared.

More likely it was the fall of '64, Vay - the Monogram cars didn't come out till '64.

At my age if my memory of things is off by only a year I classify it as a major victory.
I'm going to have to track down some reading copies of Boy's Life magazine from 1964-65.

Lots of 'em on eBay, Vay - and don't overpay, it's circulation was probably up in the millions, so lots should be left.
They had slot car ads in pretty much every issue around that time, and there were also slot car prizes in whatever Boy Scouts were selling door to door... only a couple real slot car articles however.
Scout's honor!
