Default RE: Cox Powered cars coming back
In the mid 50's I had a Cox tether car with a Cameron 19 engine. I think it was from the very late 40's or very early 50's.

It was great until one day the steel tether line (one side of a U-control line set) broke and the car hit a steel post. It busted the cast aluminum body all to pieces.

We were using the O&R red fuel that smelled like shoe polish
