I do remember the commercial and the concept, but while I know we had an SSP car somewhere in there it wasn't this set, and it was most likely my brother's. These pull-strip drive SSP cars didn't come in until the early '70s, I believe, and the combination of my heading for my teens and never giving a tinker's damn about cars would have made it unlikely it was mine.
Revving the standard ones up and using them to wreck castles quickly built from wooden blocks... that much I remember. We weren't looking for anything that had lots of little parts to lose.
'... comes with evverthing ya see raht chyere.'
Priceless.
Like aAa, I loved the tag line "ya see raht chyere." Makes me wonder if anyone north of the Manson Nixon line ever saw this commercial. Hmmm. Thanks for the video.
Mike -
I knew lots of boys in my neighborhood that had them and actually had a turn at crashing them up myself.
Nate & FH -
Yeah. That is pretty funny. But, I saw it when living in New York state, as did Highlander (he and his brothers actually had these).
Feels like it was yesterday when I watch the commercial. Damn, I'm old!
