MILTON BRADLEY SUPERCAR TO THE RESCUE BOARD GAME


Hi Woodsy,

In your surveys of board games, you seem to have missed the Supercar game. I wonder if it was just an American release?

regards,

  1. Judging by the events shown Supercar grew up to be Thunderbird 2.

    My memory of the series was Supercar going up the then new M1 motorway passing 1950's Ford cars, this game looks far more exciting.

    1. Yep, it appears to be an all purpose rescue vehicle Terran doesn't it. I always like Reg Hill's design. The rear fins recall the Batmobile. Somehow the large canopy, the fins and the front spike all come together into a pleasing whole.

      Don't think I've ever owned any Supercar collectables as a kid.

    2. I was fortunate to own a Plaston Supercar toy (I clearly remember the postman delivering the package to my home!) and a Budgie soft metal toy. If only I still had that Plaston... the box art was fantastic.

    4. Yes, Budgie released a metal Supercar in 1962. Comet Miniatures also released a small metal Supercar in 1997.
