Don't ask why I was watching old episodes of Antique Roadshow UK last night. But there I was, when up pops a Radicon remote control model car. Keep in mind that I'm half in a coma (as opposed to half in the bag) watching this show when I see that it's a 56 Olds Super 88 four door sedan!. So, google is our friend, and I discover that this is the first remote control car.

 

When does it arrive? Or are you going over there to pick it up? Don't forget your passport and make sure you get the correct address.

 

Very cool. I dig it. Do you remember what it was valued at?

 

That's a nifty piece, Frank!

 

The Antiques Roadshow episode was over 20 years old so I wasn't paying any attention to the value. I was busy staring at the car and the box.

A search on Ebay shows one for $2,000. and another for $6,000. No thanks! I already have a 1:1 model...
