Cox A-1 Skyraider Control Line Model |
 I
bought a 1969 edition of the Montgomery Ward Christmas catalog on eBay. It was the
year I turned 11 years old, and was also the year of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Remembering how I eagerly awaited those pages filled with advertisements for model
airplanes, boats, guns, Erector sets, and countless other things, I figured it might
be nice to look through one again. Here is the
1967 Montgomery Ward
Christmas Catalog, the
1969 Montgomery
Ward Christmas Catalog and the
1969 Sears Christmas
Wish Book. Enjoy!Here on page 378 of the Montgomery Ward 1969 Christmas catalog are three .049-powered Cox models - the Douglas A-1 Skyraider control line airplane, the California Dune Buggy, and the wild Shrike Air Car. The $13.66 price for the California Dune Buggy in 1969 is the equivalent of $88.34 in 2015 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator.
