I have a TOMY A/FX Corvette Challenge track that I got for Xmas back in the mid 80's. I had a ton of the "Qwik key - Loc key" track and was able to find adaptors for the new to old track styles.

Aurora slot car sets owned many Christmases in the early to mid 1960s. My set and my train set were among my favorite toys. Their models were legendary as well. Aurora is a great memory. Like Testors glue.

Bob beers book is excellent too.

Now on E-bay is an AFX magna-traction flame thrower 1977 Monza GT (white/green) in the blister pack. The back says 1979 Aurora Products Division of Louis Marx & Co., Girard, PA

Interesting Aurora Slot car book .Thanks !! That cool...

I bought a BMW M1 in Germany back in the late 70s (red, white and blue), G-Plus that was a Faller.

I had Aurora slot cars before they became AFX(even the Batmobile), then when AFX came out we were all psyched because they were faster & handled much better than the earlier models...I remember I had this 917 Gulf Porsche than nobody in my neighborhood could beat...thems were the days.

this was a better country when you could buy a made in U.S.A. Aurora H O slot car set. Bring back the U.S.A. made H O car sets!

I really enjoyed this video Troy, thanks.

Mark's Snakepit . What are those Vibrators worth these days ? I have one . It's an open top Mercedes roadster (dk. green) .

No AFX cars are Aurora and Aurora only. AFX cars are Nabisco AFX, and later other owners.

Interesting ,Thanks ! I always thought it was TOE-ME or is it ,as you say Toe-may? Just curious . I thought the commercials when I was a kid said "by TOE-Me"

i got the aurora "sterling moss thunderjet 500" set for christmas either '63 or '64. my older nexT door neighbors gave me all their vibrator cars that they had outgrown. built two different 10'x5' AF/X/ G+ setups in '77 and '78. all gone. who knew??

Afx my fav.from 1976 on. I prefer afx speed steer(ultra5) cars and sets.thanks for the info.

You mentioned the "Tri-Cities." Do you mean Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland?

Interesting company history. I though they went completely out of business sometime in the early 80's. I still have my original Aurora slot car set from the late 1960's with the Thunderjet cars. The later 70's slot cars did not seem to be as good as the previous cars were at least they did not run that well on my track.

I wonder if the gold plated charger came about when Nabisco owned Aurora.

Subbed cool channel brother.. :) :D

To read Japanese, google has a translate app that uses your camera... Just aim it at the Japanese and it will give you an English read-out.

Troy I have that book and it is great!! I have the others as well.... damn shame all this was created from the oil crisis!!!
