Part of what made objects like this back then so fascinating is how difficult it was to retrieve any information about them. You had to buy a magazine, or you'd see specs in a trading card game, or you had a little model.

Many young people today seem to have a similar superficial knowledge of cars from computer games, but oddly little depth of knowledge about them other than their in-game dynamics.
