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.

Excellent,amazing to know the details from someone who experienced it! Thank you so much for posting this stuff.

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.

From my dusty memory, I remember a road on the right, while going north out of mayport on 28. The road immediately went under a rail road bridge. The railroad followed along the side of the road there. I also remember a sign saying OHL 3 mile with that arrow pointing to that road. I think it was near that brick yard. I remember Fischers could not get the scrambler van under the bridge and had to go along way around.

Yup, after you pass under the train bridge, just a little ways up road, there is now a beer distributor on the right hand side. We're both referring to the same place.

This is a promo pic of Construction Company using Attex's out in the bottom of the "Dry Niagra riverbed", near the edge of the American side of Niagara falls. You can see the Canadian side flowing on the right side of the pic. This was in 1969 when the army corps of engineers shut the American side off for testing and studies. I think it was dry from July to
november 1969. So if anyone ever asks you if a Attex ever crossed the Niagara River at the edge of the falls. Don't put money on the "no" answer

Yes, Attex in a Box. Look at all those shiny new machines. Just beautiful.

Those pics are great. You can thank Mom & Dad for passing on the fever.
