Re: [FWDLK] 1957 Test Drive Game

Hi Neil,
Hate to say it, but something very rare in this day and age is what kept the cars on the course: Honesty.

As for the making the board flat- this thing is so old/dried out, that I am afraid to try opening it.  I am thinking of soaking it in ArmorAll for a few days and then using a hair dryer to make it pliable and opening it then.  Once open though, I am gluing it to cardboard so that it can be displayed in a nice shadowbox frame.
Also, Tom has generously offered to photocopy the comic book for me, so I will have a complete set at that point.

Have a SAFE and happy New Year,
Charles.

Charles; sorry:no-instructions, but Milton Bradley used to print the
instructions of the inside of the cover, huh?

As we've discussed, your game is a timed event, to see how far along the
course, "you" can go, within the time-limits.
The "Trick/Question" is :"how do you make sure that your car STAYS on
the course, not 'cheating'  ? ". And, how do you make the plastic
"course"  saty-flat?

Neil---the comic book only shows the 57 car-models being tested "on" the
Proving Grounds--the Dodge illustration has the fewest images of all the
cars; Plymmie has the 'most' car-images, in the comic book.
