Attex in a box!

Outstanding pictures......thanks again!

As a young lad i watched the banana splits show and drooled saying, " i would love to have one of those machines". At the parade one year a character dressed as one of the splits was in that parade. He was in a attex Maybe that was all he could get? They would lay a light bulb down on the pavement and run over it with the machine...stop, and pick up the light bulb and jump back into the machine and drive on for the next demonstration.

These machines never made it to the North Carolina area, so...i thought they went the way of the dinosaur. The only machines around our area were the Argo's. Didn't start seeing them until the 80's. A brand new Argo was 5,500 dollars. I though to myself what a outrageous price for a toy. Of course i had children,a mortgage and so on and so on.

Even tho i have a 2011 Avenger which i am passionate about, the Crush is my Hot Rod and reminds me of my younger days. Those were some great years So thanks again for the Pictures.

For those of you wondering why the rear tires are missing, i am talking to Howard now, and he said when the trailer was built they miscalculated the height of one of the sections. The only way to get the attex's to fit was to remove the rear tires.
