The HO slotcars were still very popular in the 1970s. I remember a local hardware store that would set up a slot car set in their Christmas Toyland area & kids would come in & race the cars.
at there it stayed. We have XBox now. Old people really just wont get with the times. I imagine the pay for there food by check. LOL sometimes you see old people do funny things. I mean buy an XBox and get a debit card. You know ,,,swip and you paid. Quit holding up the world. 50 billion more people on this stinking rock!
Actually, they have gotten less expensive. A good ready to run car in 1968, a COX 1/24 Scale Cox Cheetah cost about 14.95. In today's money that is about $95. A 1/24 scale Carrera Cheetah today, is about $59. Today's car has better finish and detail, better durability, working lights, and can run on conventional tracks or in programmable digital mode. For next year Carrrera has lowered prices! It IS, increasingly and very adffordable hobby.
