$140
Very rare. From 1952 or '53. This is one of (if not) Revell's first gift set. It is Gowland-produced with no part number. Gowland designed and molded these kits as well as providing the box artwork (signed D.K. Gowland) and instructions - Revell did the marketing. Inside, the kit is correct with all cardboard dividers, all small parts still in the correct wax paper bags, cars molded in red, black, dark blue and green, tires molded in black and correct instructions. The models have never been started. Four kits are still factory sealed in the original krinkle bags. One kit, the 1903 Cadillac is in the krinkle bag but the bag has split, as they often do. I have inventoried this kit and it is 100% complete with all parts and instructions present. Before the 1950s 'model building' never made the top 10 list of boy's activities. Hobbies were nothing new to America in the 1930s/40s, but they were not mainstream. By the late 1910 and early '20s, many dedicated modelers were building flying or static airplanes, ship, train, automotive or other subjects. Basic kits existed, but the majority of these models were built from scratch, which demanded a high talent level developed from years of experience. By the 1930s, the 'Aviation Craze" had taken hold of this country and kits appeared everywhere. However, it was estimated at the time that at least 80% of these were never sucessfully completed (and fewer than that flown). That changed in the early 1950s with the advent of plastics and affordable injection molding equipement. The phenomenon of the all-plastic Revell/Gowland & Gowland 'Highway Pioneers' car kits was a significant force in proving that model building as a hobby could have mass appeal, provided that the kits were easy enough to build and finish. These 1/32 scale vehicles were completely molded to shape in color and could be built in an hour after dinner. When complete, they looked much like the real car. The Highway Pioneers series lead to the production of other subjects in plastic and the effect was revolutionary. By the early 1960s, model building was the #1 past time of American boys...and adult males as well!

Molded in gloss white & gloss red (like the box top), black, chrome plate, clear and rubber. The SSK was developed from the revolutionary Mercedes S (Sport) designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. Making it's debut in 1927, the "S" had a six cylinder 6.8 liter engine and won the inaugural race on Germany's Nurburgring in the Eifel Mountains followed by a string of European victories. Daimler-Benz introduced the Mercedes SS (Super Sport) with featured two carburetors, sleep appearance and a bigger engine. The SSK (K stood for Kurz, meaning 'Short') was introduced in 1919 and was eighteen inches shorter than the SS. In 1929 with Rudolf Caracciola at the wheel, the SSK won the International Tourist Trophy race held in Belfast, Ireland with an average speed of 72.8 mph. In late 1930 Carracciola won the 300 Mile Irish Grand Prix in an SSK with an average speed of 86.3 mph, which broke existing course records despite the intermittent rainfall.
