Phantom Motors, out of Los Angeles,
California, was one of the early manufacturers
of ignition motors for model airplanes, boats, and cars. This full-page advertisement
appeared in the November 1946 issue of Air Trails magazine. This particular
ad had a Christmas theme, as did many of the other ads in that edition. If you do
a search on
eBay for vintage Phantom Motors ignition engines, not much shows up, so that
probably means there were either not too many of them made, or they were not sturdy
enough to survive hard landings and frequent usage so that the engines were trashed.
Oh well. The $14.95 price tag in 1946 is the equivalent of $288.31 in 2021 per the
BLS
inflation calculator.
