Aurora 1935 Gilmore Special Indianapolis 500 Winner - (ex-Best), 1/30, 524-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
Very rare and from 1958. From ex-Best molds. Aurora purchased the Best molds for the Indianapolis 500 Winners and made one issue. Kit is molded in gloss white with real rubber tires, spoked wheels and includes a crew of two and some interior detail. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Kelly Petillo was the driver of the Gilmore Special in 1935 and won the day with a record breaking speed of 106.865 mph over the 200 laps. This is noteworthy because all cars were slowed by the yellow flag due to light drizzle during the first part of the race. It is even more amazing when you consider that the fuel allowance was only 42.5 gallons per car, which made it necessary to average over 11.7 miles per gallon for 500 miles in racing conditions!

(Carl Goldberg went on to found his own company and produced well designed and popular free-flight and RC aircraft). Comet survived the post World War economic slump and continued kit production until they were bought out by long-time competitor Guillow's in 1998.
