IN 1949, A FORD AND A PLYMOUTH WERE THE ONLY 2 MODELS HOWEVER STUDEBAKER DEALER MODELS ALONG WITH REMOTE CONTROL WOULD FOLLOW IN 1950.THIS MODEL IS MADE OUT OF TENITE PLASTIC A BRAND OF CELLULOSIC THERMOPLASTIC AND IS NOTED ON THE BOX,COLOR, " BLACK CHERRY ".

THIS AMT MODEL RUNS ON 2 D CELL BATTERIES HOWEVER WHEN I PUT THEM IN IT DID NOT SEEM TO GET IT WORKING, PERHAPS A LOOSE CONNECTION AND SOMONE KNOWLEDGEABLE MAY BE BETTER EQUIPIED TO SOLVE THE POWER ISSUE.
