Model Cars Illustrated

American Publication

Model Cars Illustrated was a slot car magazine which began publishing at the same time as Model Car & Track, and Model Car Science, and one year behind Car Model, so it had plenty of competition.

The magazine was published bi-monthly, or monthly from November 1963 until February 1965. Only 11 issues were published, so this is the complete collection.
