Ideal made the Motorific line of 1/43 scale battery powered slot cars. One that is frequently seen on e-bay is the station wagon, a 64 Country Squire. It was available in 4 different colors ( I have a yellow one and a blue one myself). http://cgi.ebay.com/LOOK-IDEAL-MOTO...mdZViewItemQQptZSlot_Cars?hash=item53ddf50929 Marx made a very similar 1/43 scale battery powered station wagon, but it was a 62 Country Sedan without the woodlike trim. The Marx wagon is extremely rare. Aurora, in the early 60's made alot of HO scale (or at 1/72 scale they were at least close to HO scale) "Thunderjet" slot cars based on Ford products. One of several 62 Fords available that year was the Country Squire. Heres one in yellow, but I've seen them in white, red and tan as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/Aurora-Vibrator...mdZViewItemQQptZSlot_Cars?hash=item58843cf699
I have a an Aurora 62 Country Squire in white with a black roof. It has a vibrator engine (it buzzes) which pre-dates the Thunder Jet design. Carmak Riverside, Iowa
