As of February 5, 2025, no other documentation of the Astro Car actually being produced has been found.
Below – A report in the above magazine on the 1965 Toledo RC Conference included news of several radio controlled models from the Astro-Guide Corporation of Addison, Illinois. One of the RC models was the Astro Car which used a plastic 1:25 scale AMT 1962 Ford body with a single channel, proportional radio.
Below – The Astro models are shown in this page are from a (Montgomery) Wards catalog which was said, by the eBay seller, to be a 1965 issue.
