1930 Travel
Air Model R "Mystery Ship"
It was June of 1930 when the Travel Air Manufacturing Company of Wichita, Kansas began construction of their fourth Travel Air "Mystery Ship"-this one being built at the request of Capt. Frank Hawks, transcontinental record-holder of 1929. Hawks was a pilot for The Texas Company. Built in utmost secrecy, the local newspapers clamored in vain for photographs of what they dubbed the "mystery ship", and the nickname stuck. After Hawks crash landed the airplane, it was rebuilt with a new color scheme sporting red and white racing stripes. This is an UNOPENED BOX, MINT CONDITION, ERTL die cast metal bank, Officially Licensed Texaco Product from 1997! Price:
$44.95
