This unique wheel design is developed hand-in-hand with Strombecker's new grooved-center tire. STROMBECKER INFO: This toy maker from Chicago, Illinois, was the first in the USA to follow Scalextric’s footsteps. They had been making 1/24 and 1/32, electric-powered scale models, and many had been converted to slot racing use by pioneering enthusiasts. The Dowst Manufacturing Company, makers of the famous Tootsietoy die-cast toy line, acquired Strombeck-Becker in 1957, and Model Road & Racing in 1962. Strombeck-Becker had been making balsa wood airplane kits. The new Strombecker company made the critical decision to produce home racing sets to compete, at much lower prices, with Scalextric and later, other burgeoning American concerns such as Marx, Gilbert or Lionel. * A complete detailed story appeared in the November 1964 issue of Car Model. My Dad owned a Hobby Shop that closed in the early 1970's, and he kept some of the more interesting slot cars and accessories from that era. The items I am listing are in most cases, near new or gently used. I have taken many pictures to show every angle and have tried to describe all features and/or flaws to the best of my ability. Please email with any questions specific to something I may have missed. Please check my other listings as I will be selling many cars, accessories and track in all three scales-- HO, 1/32nd, and 1/24th.
