Same as catalog # 535887 International Automobile Show "In New York's Coliseum - hundreds of nimble and beautiful cars from all over the world compete in the third international auto show. There's a bundle from Britain and it was bound to come from somewhere soon...A do-it-yourself car.... Kit style: $885. Assembled- painted, ready to run- $998. Quite a crate. The audience is really bug-eyed at this one." [Note: If the kit car is shown at all, it's not clearly highlighted as this description indicates.] Signs seen at the show include: Lancia, Ford, Alfa-Romeo, Toyota. Woman reclines the front seat of an open convertible. Female models walk among and try out the cars, including Asian women in kimonos (?) at the Toyota exhibit.
