Several weeks ago this very unusual white and blue 'Spirit of America' version of the 2001 Space Glider appeared on Ebay and is new to the blog. It does have many similarities with the more usual red version - both are remote controlled, have NASA motifs, both are the same shape, both have silver exhausts and both are similarly boxed with a polystyrene inner tray as you can see below [top box].

The red 'Spirit of America' version shown on the side of the box in the picture at the very top is also new to the blog. I expect it to surface at some point now that the white one has. Has anyone got either of the 'Spirit of Americas'?
Lovely little thing!
ReplyDeleteI believe that "Spirit of America" was the name of a speed-record-breaking car driven by Craig Breedlove - the toy company may have re-used the markings!

Nope. I don't have one. Judging from the photos, it's very nice indeed!
