Unfortunately we are all seeing the effects as diminishing numbers of young adults attend the races, hot rod or even car events. The majority of kids now days don't have the opportunity to learn the mechanical skills as they grow up so when they are old enough to drive or own a car they don't have a clue. I think most of us grew up putting models together and learned many of the skills that were later used to build and maintain hotrods.

Searching the internet I found a lot of the traditional type of kits are still available (even new designs) but they are from 'Specialty Hobby Shops'. These pre-assembled ready to use models don't teach the kids anything about craftsmanship and pride of taking a stack of parts and making it into something that will fly or float.

All that the local hobby shops had were pre-assembled, ready to use models made in China. recently I went into several Hobby shops looking for some of the traditional balsa airplane/boat kits to teach my grandkids some useful skills. You missed WALT'S (near Central express and Fairoaks) in Sunnyvale and SHELDON'S (originally on) on Alum Rock in San Jose. (yeah, a boat.but it looks GREAT behind my F100!) I still do model cars, Control Line planes, (scratch build now, but I'm old) H-O trains, real hot rods, my Gasser, Galaxie, F-100, F-1, and I just got a '66 Dorsett Runabout. We found Kiddie World to have the best prices for model cars AND model airplane parts. When AMT came out with the big (1/25 scale) '39 Ford sedan, then the '40 Coupe, we were in Model Heaven! Then the '32 roadster. Highway Pioneers kits were 1/32 scale, I built about 20 of the 'Hot Rod', the '32 roadster. Lasted until 1983, I bought much of Larry's leftover stock then, as we were flying again. Houston's moved from their #2 location in Town & Country village in the '70s, and re-opened on Winchester Blvd in Campbell. We got into Control Line airplane building/flying in 1955, and frequented all the hobby shops in the area, all of which were mentioned here. (before the councilmen Kielys leveled the downtown area.)
