Artifact Overview
Tether cars, gas-powered model race cars, were popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Barney Korn was among the most skilled builders. While his models weren't particularly fast, they were exceptionally detailed. Korn even built model cars, boats, and airplanes for Hollywood movies. He used these tools while working on some of his tether cars.
