Description: Condition is played with:Body - tiny dings on canopy. I left the dirt in the corners intact.Base - light wear, I think it used to be chromed but most of that is gone. Suspension - solid, it wiggles on the base which I think was intentionalWheels - Missing one but the rest are not worn and still soft. There might be microscopic rust at the end of the axles. (see Images) Please see photos as they are part of the description. Aurora already had castings for their successful slot cars models. It was a natural move to produce a new, non-slot, metal base and offer many of the same models as toy cars. Unfortunately, Mattel and Topper had a similar idea. They released their Hot Wheels a Johnny Lightning lines just a little later in 1968. The Cigarbox models actually came in a miniature cigar box-like package. Some of the Cigarbox models have a screwed-on base that could allow for body swapping with the slot-cars, if the base matched. Other Cigarbox models have a fixed base. All Cigarbox models have plastic bodies and metal bases. The toy did not sell and the line was abandoned by 1971. The plastic bodies are very fragile and could not compete with other companies diecast bodies. So, it is hard to find a complete specimen.
