very much appreciated. thanks for putting this on you-tube. it a lot easier to show my son this toy that i had 40 yrs or so ago then trying to explain it.
Came across this by chance. The funny thing is that this song was such an earworm that it still pops up in my memory from time to time all of these years later. This jingle and the theme from the 6 mill dollar man. Go figure...
I too wanted one of these SOOOOOOO badly when I was a kid. My neighbor wound up getting it, and shortly after we moved away, so I never got to play with it the way I wanted to. I still want to, lol.
thats a 1957 Ford and 1957 Chevrolet Nomad,ive recently picked up the Ford at a auto jumble and me brothers still got the Nomad from when new(it came as a single car not a set)where i used to have the beetle and pickup truck set .Did they do anymore???
I remember this commercial airing when I was a little kid in the 1970s. Damn, but I wanted this toy. My family was dirt poor and we couldnt afford store bought toys advertised on tv like this one. My toy collection pretty much consisted of mis-matched odds and ends, bits and pieces, that were handed down to me by friends, or found in the streets somewhere, etc. Toy commercials, like this one (and being a big watcher of tv, I saw thousands of them), only served to torture me.
Don't you hate things like that? I was fortunate enough to have parents to buy an SSP for me and I loved it for a long time that I have great memories to this day, which is why I uploaded this video ;-]
Ha! My parents wouldn't let me have Smash-Up Derby either. Perhaps for the same reason. I did have a friend who had the set so he and I destroyed it. His mom got mad but he and I had hours of fun.
I had this exact set and the Evil Knievel stunt cycle loved them both !

I wanted one of those so bad when I was a kid but my dad refused to buy it for me. He said that it was a destructive toy. :(
