Classic
Sam Bergman jumped into the slot racing fray by producing the first true 1/24 scale RTR car in the business, a John Power designed car named the \"Manta Ray\" and loosely patterned after the Dean Jeffries show car. The car was immensely successful with the younger crowd, with a production of over one million units. Classic later produced the wildest looking slot cars of all times, all of them highly collectible today as well as their colorful packaging.
CLASSIC:
Founded by Sam Bergman, a wealthy 30-year old oil-heir in 1964, Classic started by selling a sidewinder aluminum frame also used by BZ, and obtained from an outside supplier. The Classic version was silver-anodized. Bergman hired well-known industrial designer, John Power, to engineer a car that could be taken straight out of the box and win races, something that just did not exist at the time. John created the Manta Ray, a simple car powered by Classic’s version of the FT36. Sold in a display box with a spare Lotus 30 body, the Manta Ray was an incredible success and this even though it cost nearly twice as much as a typical kit. Over one million were sold. The rather ungainly orange car greatly appealed to the younger crowd, to the dismay of scale fanatics. Purists quickly named them “thingies”, and the name stuck. Powers designed a second car, the Viper, and a third, the Asp, which were equally successful. Classic, now run by expatriate Latvian Ilmars Kersels, was firmly established in the RTR and kit market, working 24 hours a day on three shifts.
Viper RTR was sold with an extra Cheetah clear plastic body and body bracket. Early yellow color was soon replaced by metallic red.)
Asp was sold as a kit. Extra Maserati 250F clear plastic body and extra chassis parts made this car very attractive to young buyers. Classic’s orange Mabuchi FT16D powered this lightweight.)

Astro-V kit, with very attractive packaging. What little boy could resist? )
Classic’s mean-looking Batmobile wins the display box first prize. No contest from BZ or K&B.)

“Competition Asp” RTR was a later version using Mabuchi FT26D motor and clear plastic box.
Modified Toronado RTR had red or blue body.)
A dispute with Sam Bergman (see BZ) led to John Power departure and the hiring of Robert Cadaret, a retired General Motors Styling Department employee. Bob had been involved in 1954 to 1957 Chevrolet designs, and created the innovative Stinger, Gamma Ray and Serpent “thingies” for Classic.
Fantastic “Stinger” with working air brake, is well-remembered by the baby-boomer generation. Flap used motor inertia under braking with wire linkage, like the Cox Chaparral 2E.)
Gamma Ray is a most fantastic “thingie”, using an inertia-actuated disc brake! Most attractive but violently aggressive packaging by Bob Cadaret.)
Serpent was another Cadaret design, had stamped brass and steel wire pro-like frame. The FT26 made this a very fast car indeed, as long as the sleek body’s dubious aerodynamics would not transform it into a low flying airplane.)
Two unusual colors for the Serpent and the ultra-rare “Stinger Roadster”. This used a modified version of the Gamma Ray’s pan-style aluminum frame.)
Young Don Williams, now one of the principals at the Blackhawk Automotive Museum, also provided input, and Classic did well until the end of 1966, when, according to Kersels, “the pipeline was full”, and large orders were canceled. The 1967 blizzard-stung Chicago Hobby Show was a sad spectacle, as Classic tried to convert to radio-controlled cars, based on a commercial agreement with Nichimo. No one was there to see the new products, and this spelled the end. All remaining inventory was sold to REH Distributing of Cincinnati, Ohio. Classic is still in the toy business today, as a manufacturer of children’s jewelry, and many other activities
