Thanks MG, great pix.
If you went to most of the auto shows, I have a question for you. My father took us to one at McCormick Place, probably in 1962, where I saw the AMT Turnpike demonstration track that triggered my fascination with slot cars. Pretty sure it was 1962, but I haven't been able to confirm...
I got an Eldon set at the end of the year, and then an Aurora Thunderjet 500 set the next year, which was probably 1963, the first year it came out.
Just trying to get my dates straight...
Where did you find the pix? They look very professional...
Don
