ABOUT
Two volume set.
An authoritative reference work for collectors and historians of early tether cars, rail cars, and micro-engine model racing.
The two-volume set covers the pivotal era when miniature car racing emerged as a high-tech hobby. It traces the movement from its immediate pre-World War II origins through the post-war manufacturing boom.
The history of miniature racing cars created using articles, pictures and vintage ad media from "The Model Craftsman Magazine" from 1939 to 1947.
