Life-Like History

[RichD]

As I noted in the thread on Cox HO track I have been working on a history of the Life-Like brand of HO cars. Here is a link to what I have so far: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzLR42 ... sp=sharing
The date for the transition from Rokar to Life-Like needs to be firmed up. I was mostly interested in the companies and their various chassis designs, I did not delve into all of the possible body styles or into the people that owned or worked for the companies involved to any great extent.

Good Job.

I'm don't remember exactly, but does AMRAC play a part in this saga?
They had that bad ass competition Datsun Z car, and a similar Porsche 911 racer - both had awesome wheel well flares.
There was also a McLaren looking bright yellow Can Am type car with pivoting rear wing.
They were pretty quick, too. -- Ernie :>)

AMRAC is included in the history. I do need to get a better date for when Rokar became Life-Like.
If the link does not work for you drop me a PM with your e-mail address and I will send you the PDF.
