I remember seeing them but by '65 I've found other uses for acetate glue.

It's probably because I'm a retired letter carrier, but I immediately noticed that they still used a zone number in their address, even though zip codes had been introduced two years prior to the running of this ad.

Had the Dragster model. First model I ever blew up with fire crackers and lighter fluid. Fun times.
