Dueling Big Wheels: 1968
Christmas Day 1968, Elkins, WV. Big Wheels for brother Bill and me. A ride 'em horsey for sister Kim. Best Christmas ever! View full size.
Almost For Real
That would be Marvel the Mustang sister Kim is astride, another great toy from Marx. Its unforgettable jingle proclaimed "no winding - no batteries".
Memories
Ah,the sweet memories. My older brother tied my younger brothers big wheel to the sissy bar of his Stingray bike. Together they sped around the neighborhood taunting other kids to the challenge. They had a good run until Mom caught a glimpse of them through the kitchen window. Gee wiz Mom hes wearing a crash helmet!
