I have one of each in the original box (including tons of slot car stuff), along one each of the engines in their original bubble packs. I was one of 5 in the art department after the circle closed in '65 and I have almost every drawing (a lot of original art), brochure and instruction sheet, including the box art that was in the dumpster. Cox went belly-up in late '66, but was re-animated later. From there I went to Hughes in Fullerton in the art Dept, and when they shut down in '95 I did the same thing with all the dumped art there. 30 years of stuff.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-64626552294326139952007-12-14T15:19:00.000-08:002007-12-14T15:19:00.000-08:00Hey Coxpilot- just noticed your image- I like it a...Hey Coxpilot- just noticed your image- I like it a lot!!

I looked through your skyway photos, and found that the lights seem to appear around 1958/59, this may have been during the time they were being added. Don't you love those little fiberglass chairs in the buckets. They must have robbed all the break rooms around the park.CoxPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284076551547506117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-65729253133389551472007-12-14T10:23:00.000-08:002007-12-14T10:23:00.000-08:00Kudos on the Skyway shots!

The feeling is just as I remembered it, and the colors brought back the beauty of those times.
