    Description

    You are buying a vintage and rare color 1960 Percival Wildcat and Hellcat go-kart ad reprinted on Brochure and Flyer Paper Matte.  Measures 8 1/2 X 11 inches.  Much better (and larger) than the original, this beautiful ad is perfect for matting and framing.  Go-karts were invented in 1956.  Small ads first appeared in 1958, and larger ads began to appear in 1959.  This is one of those early ads.  Designed by Indy 500-winning designer Frank Kurtis, and tested by two-time Indy 500 winner driver Rodger Ward, the Hellcat and Wildcat were manufactured by Percival Mfg. Co. in Des Moines, Iowa.  A great piece of go-kart history.  Ad will be placed inside a plastic sleeve with cardboard and mailed in a manila envelope.  See my other listings for more vintage Go-kart, quarter midget and mini-bike memorabilia.  Buyer pays .85 shipping in continental U.S.  Combined shipping on additional items.  Thanks for looking!
