Johnny Lightning Big Switch Track Sets and Carry Case

Here is a new item from You Tube, featuring an old Johnny Lightning ad for the Big Switch track system. Towards the end is a beautiful carrycase in the shape of a foot and a half long racing car, with compartments for 16 Johnny Lightning cars. 

This is based on a real racing car from the Indianapolis 500, and is described as the winningest car of all time.

This is not a regular TV ad aimed at consumers, but appears to be a company promotional production intended for salesmen or distributors, as it refers to a planned multi-million dollar advertising campaign for the JL range. 

Ads would appear on television, in print, on radio, in boy's magazines, and major spotting events.
