Cool, makes me want to go buy a kite.

That first pic looks like it could be an advertisement for the truck.

Yeah, thanks for reminding me RM!
I ordered a SW kite back in the 70's from either a cereal box or the UPC symbols. 
The first & last time I took the kite out..it took a nose dive into the neighbors tree. 
Of course, it was too high to get out.   [roll]

Late 70's..I do remember a lot of Zig Zag wrappers, roach clips and funny smelling brownies around the house.
