I'd have to agree that this is a fake. My reasons:
1) Instructions are too crude, even by 60's standards. Also, have a look
at the following URL...it's supposed to be another page from the same
booklet but the quality is many times greater!
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/4976/0371-06.jpg
2) Numbers on the cover are dead-ringers for the self-adhesive ones you can
but at office-supply stores...and they're NOT like the numbers used on other
instructions of the era
3) Just saw something else...the later pages of this instruction book have
vehicles with black tires while the main model has grey.
Is that enough to convince any fence sitters?
