Yeah, toys were so cool and full of creativity back then. Now we have those peesh... Transformers, Hot Wheels, Bionicles ? So uncreative compared to our good ol carwashes and toy soldiers !
Hard to imagine that a kid would want a car wash toy, but I remember that the car wash was actually a fun family outing...believe it or not. Especially when we got to stay inside the car as it went through. Really exciting!!! Different times.
I was an 80s kid (Transformers, Voltron, Atari, Nintendo, Sega). But I love watching these toy commercials from before my time. They had such great care and production value to them.
Remco Industries, Inc. was a toy company in the United States founded in the 1940s. It was best known for toys marketed and sold in the late 1950s and early 1960s, like the 'Johnny Reb Cannon', 'Mighty Matilda Atomic Aircraft Carrier', 'Remco Voice Control Kennedy Airport' (which featured model airplanes of American, TWA and United Airlines, an album player and an album which played a voice giving landing and take-off instructions) and the tethered 'Electronic Falcon Plane' that "flies itself". The company's slogan was "Every Boy Wants a Remco Toy...And So Do Girls!"...
I love how they used to advertise the prices of the toys so retailers couldn't jack them up sky high like they do now. Everyone had to sell for the same price and make the same profit.
It was most likely for the opposite reason. Some of these toys were almost a days wages back then, that was a hard sell. The large retailers probably didn't want the smaller stores selling them at a discount and requested that the toy companies price-fix them.
@The V0iD so instead of letting the western free-market competing price be stablished thru supply and demand u propose the commie State way: imposed fixed prices for the goods and services no matter if they are any good quality, dont care what the operative costs are, etc
That's not because people jacked up the price, but because giant companies that can eat losses could drop the price to drive all competition out of business. Even if the price is fixed the smaller the store the more risk they take and the less profit they make.
@@alerey4363 It is the opposite. It prevents the price to go too high and the profit margin become out of proportion. Something they could use in the US healthcare system. "Patriots" let their fellow countrymen die so the farmacutical company can make a way to big buck.
REMCO always made the Future Engineer, Scientist, Pilot toys! My brother and I each had a Mr. Kelly's Car Wash Junior - like the original, but in a smaller scale, hand cranked with the same motion mechanics. We also had the full size Barney's Auto Factory!! It was an Xmas gift from a Toy Store owning Uncle!! That was a fun toy!!!
@@normanwhite6677 I had The Fighting Lady battleship and my brother had a tank that took like 8 "D" cells but could climb over anything. LOL Yep, those WERE the days.
Dec. 25, 2019---Checked and minimum wage back then was 1.00 an hour. I was 6 years old at the time, with our family living at Bitburg AFB, Germany. The one toy a friend had there was a submarine which you could fill with water and submerge. You could also fire up to 4 hard plastic torpedoes. Thanks for the video.
In the 50s I had a toy submarine that you filled with vinegar and put in a power pill (baking soda pill), and it would be propelled by the escaping gas.
I had the chopper and the car wash . My Mom had to take the blades off the chopper they kept hitting me on my head and had a hard time with recovery and landing but that was OK you really can't see the blades when there moving is what Mom would say . My tank and truck wouldn't fit in the car wash the jeep barely fit . But what a time I had .

Maybe go and buy your kid real toys then? or buy an RC styrofoam kit and make it a bonding and learning experience for your kid. The kid isn’t going out and buying himself a tv or phone.
Up to a point, my toys were either clockwork or static ( your imagination made them fly, shoot, etc.) one year i got the remco field cannon for Christmas and my best friend got the Civil War cannon by Remco. Had fun for years with them. Then we discovered girls. Cannons were easier to understand...
I always thought Remco's Toys were kooler than the other well known Toy Makers back then(i.e. Hasbro,Mattel,Marx,etc.) That Carwash looked just like the one my folks use to go to back in the day so I really wanted that toy Bad. $14.98 for that Airplane in the 1st Commercial was a lot of Damm money in 1959.If you got that Toy for Christmas or your Birthday than your parents were usually upper middleclass and above...
I was 10 years-old in 1959 and I remember these toys. One of the greats was the 'Big Job' dump truck. I think that was Remco also, or maybe Mattel. That toy plane was a bad idea and never 'took off'. LOL!!!
Mr Kelly's Car Wash. Hah. Now I know the inspiration for one of the comedy segments in the Ernie Kovac show. Alas, most of his production recordings were not kept. His widow spent her life trying to collect as much of his work as was left in existence. A true odd ball humorists and comedian who would have splitting your sides in laughter. Thank you
I was only three years old in 59, but I remember those toys being advertised on TV. That was back when toys were fun and you learned about things and how they worked. Oh,,, and about the 2ft long Chinook helicopter with those long spinning blades??? Back then kids were smart enough to read instructions and not kill ourselves...
@@swirvinbirds1971 Yeah, our generation got blamed for tings like that when we were little, too. So get ready because you'll be doing the same thing when you grow up. 😎
@@Seabeejim133 I'm almost 50 with a 30 year old daughter and a 20 year old son... I don't blame them for shit. I blame us for not leaving them a world that was better than when we got it.
I bet you wouldn't, those toys were notorious for breaking down because the build quality was crap, it was the start of the mass produced garbage being pumped at kids by corporations.
I was not born when these aired, but I have a vague memory of seeing these items. Perhaps a friend had them, or saw the commercial rerun. Back then, some commercials often ran for months or years.
I wanted one of those Kelly's Car Washes for X-mas 1963 (I was 6). I didn't get it , though. My grandfather gave me a different one. He said the Kelly's ones were sold out. I would've loved one of those helicopters when I was 10. I played with toy soldiers all the time.
Gotta say these look pretty awesome even now. But then again I grew up with some cool toys so I’d appreciate stuff like this. Just kidding, I never grew up...
@Robert Hall Bahahaha, typical nonsensical drivel from a reality denying, fake news crying, red capped tRumpanzee, I remember the good old days when the president wasn't a self confessed serial sex predator, who bragged about sexually assaulting teenage girls at beauty pageants and using prostitutes while his wife was pregnant, a time when the president didn't have accusations of rape and other sex assaults by 67 women, aahh, the good old days.
@@hopsta5628 Back in the day folks like you got electroshock therapy and had to live in institutions because their insane obsessive compulsive and antisocial behavior was viewed as unacceptable. That's my America. 😢
Thanks for the trip down memory lane of the toys i wanted but i never got especially mr kelly's carwash:(:(:(:(:( HAHAHAHAHAHA But seriously good post. You put a smile on my face:):):):)
OK here's my story. My Grandma had given me $10 for my birthday and I went to the toy store for a Whirlybird. But I had to stop and drool over the Avanti at the Studebaker dealer next door. Turns out with tax the toy was $11 which I was able to make up with turning in soda bottles. Whirlybird is gone, Grandma is gone, Studebaker is gone, toy stores are mostly gone, the $11 dollars is gone and only I am left to tell the tale.
I went to Goodwill with my mom in 1974. We bought the airplane in this video. The airplane was new in the box. I wish I still had it. I had forgotten all it until I watched this video. My mom was pregnant with my little brother, I said I didn't want a little brother. My mom said I was getting a Airplane. This went on and on whenever someone commented on when she was due. Mom just said no worry's you are getting a Airplane. Little brother arrived shortly after. It still makes me laugh thinking about my new Airplane.
I busted that car wash because I tried to put in a car from my Barneys Auto Factory. IT DIDN'T FIT. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 My best friend and also my neighbor beat the crap out of me that day. Man, I'll never forget it. His dad gave me a talking too.
So weird how the narrator keeps on referring to the jets and noise of the engines as horrible. An ad today would never use negative language, especially in a kids commercial
All you children today with you're new fandangled toy machines. When I was a boy all's we had to play with was a hoop and a stick. But my parents were so poor they could only afford the middle of the hoop. I never had the outside or the stick. But I still had fun with it.
Various film archives. Commercials were usually shot on film first, which was recopied on to videotape for mass distribution to TV networks. The tapes were usually copied over, but the photographic masters survived. This is in stark contrast to broadcasted TV shows, the vast majority were videotape only and weren't preserved.
That airliner toy looks like it would be fun for about three days. Unless it broke before then! It's an interesting idea, just hard to imagine it being something you'd want to go back to again and again.
@The Ramones True, it was before my time, but not by that much. My comment was about the airliner toy specifically. I just think it would get old fast. Maybe if it was the cockpit alone without the plane, or if it didn't make that noise? I don't know.
If we had a time machine and went back to sell the flight sims and radio controlled airplanes n cars available today, wonder what their reactions would be 😋
Phil McCrevice - When I read it, it was “...conservatives ran the CUKTURE”. I see he corrected it. Comment deleted. Thank you capie44, and my apologies.
funny thing is......like the flight simulator toy they say only 14.98 ......Back in the day when this toy was out, most jobs paid 1.00 an hour...SO......the "Flying fox" cost about two days pay.

they were a little pricey...my dad would say "do you know how long I have to work to buy and have you break that shit in 5 minutes....."....

Yeah! Fixed prices like in Communism. Always worked out perfect... wait...
That's not because people jacked up the price, but because giant companies that can eat losses could drop the price to drive all competition out of business. Even if the price is fixed the smaller the store the more risk they take and the less profit they make.

The "Flying Fox" is based on Lockheed L-188 Electra 1950's airliner and the "whirlybird" is based on the Piasecki H-21 Shawnee.
