This fantastic Grand Prix Game is a magnetic driving game with all the thrills and excitement of the Race Track. The racing cars are plastic and have small metal loops attached to there underside, they are placed on the track, and "driven" around the course using the red or blue steering wheels at the base of the board. Magnets, attached to the steering mechanisms, moves beneath the track, guiding the car on it's way. The object of the game is to be the first driver to reach the finish line of a designated number of laps. The more you play the more skill full you will become. The game is in very good condition over all, which is amazing considering that its now over 70 years old, the game is complete, with all fences, hedges, bridges and with 4  racing cars. The steering mechanisms still functions by moving the steering wheel to the left or right or up and down. Comes in the original box which is also in very good condition, but does have some wear mainly on the edges, and has the instructions printed on the front of the bottom of the box.
