I remember the vendor, 'Auto World', from back in the 1960's (I still have their 1965 catalog sitting on my book shelf). I didn't realize that they were still in business.

The website pays some homage to the original operation, but doesn't make it clear whether there's a historical link between 'then' and 'now'...

"Oscar Koveleski founded Auto World in the basement of his home in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1958. The small mail order hobby business grew to great proportions and became known for its annual product catalogs, which were filled with every car-related item an adolescent hobbyist might desire."

The current iteration of Auto World is based in South Bend, Indiana.
