    Railbird, The SSP Demon Dragster For '72!

    As a young proto-hoon, I was more of a fan of the Smash Up Derby SSPs than of the "standard" SSP cars; since all SSPs were going to bash into baseboards, ankles, etc. at parent-enragin' velocity (which is probably the reason they're no longer made) the ones that featured parts flying off at impact were more entertaining. Still, it's impossible not to love the Railbird, the Flapjack, or the Dodge Super Stocker. If only there had been some way to combine SSPs with Lawn Darts!
