Alright, this just got a bit more fun. I was carefully putting the car back in the box, and I realized that the newspaper in it was actually put their by Leisure, back in the day, as packing material.

The paper is called the Daily Pilot and is presently located in Costa Mesa. Leisure was in Irvine.

Before we had bubble wrap and packing peanuts, the factorys used newspaper on RTR kits. or at least Leisure did. Never occured to me to look at the packing paper before. fun!
