It was winter 1964-65. I was 7 years old. I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my dad, he was showing me how to put models together and letting me help as best I could. We were buiding them to display in my room. If I remember correctly the kits were large scale Aurora kits (1920's Olds, Stutz Bearcat,Model T, and a couple others). They were curbside kits, but they were really nice from what I recall. Then my dad,myself,and my younger brother put together all the Tom Daniel's cars- Tarantula, Red Baron, Uncertain T, Pie Wagon,etc. I still to this day love those kits, they were simple but were fun to build. From then on I was hooked. When ever I had some money for a kit I would go to the local Rexall drugstore and buy some kind of car model.
