I had the Corsair and also a P-40 Flying Tiger. I also won a 55 Chevy drag car that a Rexall Drug store gave away in a drawing. It had a couple of eyelets on the centerline of the frame and you would thread a line through them and anchor it at both ends and put a pile of pillows at the far end. You held the rear wheels off the floor, fired up the engine, throttled it up to banshee bumble-bee speed and then dropped the rear and watched an awesome burn-out for the full length of the basement floor. I can still smell the burned castor oil fuel. I never had a buddy with one of these cars to race against. Later set up a sweet jump and used to send the car sailing over the dog house, swing set, you name it! Crashed a bunch of planes too.
Anybody remember the Matel Varoom! motors? We put them on our bikes to make them look like motorcycles.
