The Rocket Car No. 6407 had a rocket and capsule that were produced by Sterling Plastics, a leading manufacturer of school supplies of the time. Some later issues came with a pencil sharpener in the capsule and the body of the missile could be used to house pencils. Produced only in 1963, this unique item is difficult to find today without fading of the RED paint on the missile. There are five variations that have different colors of capsules at the tip of the rocket. We’ve illustrated two of these above. This car is NOT numbered and came with AAR trucks.
