1962 Popular Mechanics and Toys of the Year
Now this November, 1962 Popular Mechanics article is clearly from a very different time. Remember, in 1962 there was no G.I. Joe, Barbie hadn’t yet become a superstar, and even Hot Wheels toy cars didn’t exist yet.
I can’t decide which I like most in the article, the photos of toys or the enjoyable language from another era. That “Mystery Space Ship” from Louis Marx is clearly the coolest toy shown in the article.
