Vintage ( 1950's ) RC cars

[Penguin Fart Racing]

Going waaaaaaay back, FORD tinkered around with scale RC Vehicles as one element of their design work ( https://www.google.com/search?q=vin...iw=712&bih=1138&dpr=2.25#imgrc=Xw7d8E53UI-dBM ). So, where are these vehicles today? Anyone ever run across one? If FORD did this the other big car makers probably did the same. Might be enlightening to put one of these vehicles side-by-side with a 21st century one !

I'm guessing that either Ford has them stored somewhere, or they were destroyed. I would love to see one though.
