Alan,
These were sold in 1972. It was to promote the construction of the
"new"
Miss Madison, which was a copy of the 1971 Atlas Van Lines. The people
around Madison were still thrilled about the '71 Gold Cup win, so
everyone
collected anything that had the boat on it. I know of three, unopened
cases
that is still in Madison. Every now and then I run into someone who
still
has an unopened one. Empty ones go for $40 to $80 on eBay. I got mine
in
the late '80s at an antique shop in Nashville, IN for $12. No hydro
memorabilia collection is complete without one, especially if you're
from
the Midwest.

Hello Alan, I don't remember the exact year but I think I was only 12 to
14
yrs old. So that would be around 1966 to 1968. You might find something
on
the internet because of some of the drivers came from owensboro. Bill
Starrett, Jim McCormick are 2 of the drivers from here. Catch you later,
Bruce
