Artifact Overview

Slot car racing was a popular hobby by the early 1960s. This 1966 catalog, from the Strombecker Corporation of Chicago, features a variety of cars, track sections, accessories, and tools. Strombecker sold 500,000 slot car racing sets in 1963, but the company's fortunes fell as interest in the hobby faded in the early 1970s.
