Marx Toys "Deluxe Dealy Plaza Playset" with Grassy Knoll and Hidden "Triangulated Crossfire" Trap

Not really. Just opening mail, but there's an idea for some social satire. Select appropriate figures, find a few limousine type plastic cars, make some scale buildings (labeled BOOK DEPOSITORY BUILDING etc), design printable packaging utilizing 1964 era typeset with the tagline "YOU CAN PUT AN EYE OUT WITH THIS THING!" satirizing the lust by companies like Marx to design potentially dangerous toys + the child safety regulations which wrecked all the fun.



Then as a followup after doing my reading & happily realizing that the Drill Ship is complete:



I'd had the station wagon for a while & concluded that it was either Ruth Payne's White Rambler -- speculated on by conspiracists as the "getaway car" that the real assassins used to escape Dealey Plaza while Oswald took the bus like a schmuck -- or Lee Marvin's car from 1967's "Point Blank".
