THE COX SHRIKE: ITS A GAS!


New to the blog I think, certainly new to me, the Cox Shrike! I saw this one on Worthpoint.


A vintage gas powered toy car, wilder than an untamed bronc!


I adore the box art!

Do you know the Cox Shrike or any other Cox gas toys?

    Cox is a famous name in flying model aircraft, of various types. Followed by these racing cars. I think they also did boats.

  4. In 1968 my dad purchased a cox shrike. We lived in Paramount California at the age of six and seven I held the tether to this car. What up amazing way to grow up to have these type of toys special thanks to my dad which I lost in 2019 and I'm age 62 I still have 4 of them still have one that I purchased in 1973 .
