The "Dream Book". We looked at those minibikes so much, you could just flip the catalog and it would open to those exact pages! Of course whenever we went to Sears' JC Penney's or Montgomery Wards (hell, Ruttman's store was right down the street from my cousin's house where we were regulars!) it was right to the minibike/go kart section, where mom knew where to find us and would start on the 'now you boys don't start asking me for anything...." Took me almost to my dang fifties to get my first minibike!

My Sears Catalog is from fall/winter of 1965 It has Motor Scooters and Motor Cycles but no mini bikes or Karts.
What sure smacks you right in the face is all the repair parts and rebuilt parts and how sadly we have become such a throw it away society and value so little .
But here we are the restorers and researchers of by gone days. I say it's great to be a OldMiniBikes member.

Thanks for posting these old pages, as a youth this was a dream catalog !!! :thumbsup: Telling Mom how I would like to have the two seater go kart for Christmas. She always told me maybe old Santy might bring you one this Christmas. I never did get it that kart..... but I could always dream about it !:wink:

I guess this is the only reason people still have this catalog for sale Did a model slip his junk into the 1975 Sears catalog? You make the call! | The Fast Pitch | The Pitch
