Downey, CA (where I visited regularly as a kid). It was saved from the wrecking ball awhile ago for historic reasons. It's the oldest original style McDonald's location, built in 1953.

During the 60s spy TV show craze, there were lots of toys like this that was a radio that turned in a rifle that was part of the Mattel espionage-centered Agent Zero M toy line.

Holy crap! I had that, and would have never thought about it again in my life had you not posted it. Was one of those long forgotten toys.

Also had a sonic blaster, which was pretty crazy. Could knock a little kid on his butt if you pumped it enough times. Pretty dang loud too. Kids back then I think were a little more responsible than kids nowadays. We weren't hurting anyone with these things. Nor getting shot at by the cops thankfully.

I took many a butt whoopin with a piece of this track. It hurt your parents feet when they stepped on it and made for a convient switch to punish the guilty. I'll never forget the sound of that light flexable "ORANGE" racetrack slicing thru the air on its way to putting a sting accross my backside.

I am nearly in tears from laughing because I think my mom used the track more than I did!
