Lot Essay

The Gilbert Road Race Set was sold exclusively through Sears catalogue in the U.S. in 1965 but was withdrawn from sale due to a defect that prevented it from working. The box came with two different designs, one with a colour illustration of the game, the other illustrating the game's features.
