1963 Socks
Description: Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour was an American restaurant parlor chain founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1963. It had a turn of the century vibe loosely based on the late 1800s/early 1900s with both the decor and employees looking (and speaking) the part. Farrell's was a hit with families, especially with the kids, as their very American menu was bolstered with countless soda and iced cream based deserts. It was very much a dining experience as specialty desserts like the Hot Fudge Volcano were ceremoniously carried in on a stretcher like tray carried between two servers, usually accompanied by a song, so between that and the player piano, Farrell's was not the place to go for a quiet bite to eat.

Description: Jim Russell was a California slot car enthusiast who decided that the cars of the day could be greatly improved, and took it upon himself to make that happen. Jim founded Russkit in 1963, launching with his first product, called Russ-Coat, a polyurethane varnish to protect a car's finish from impacts. Next came a line of bodies, first made of fiberglass, and then much lighter vacuum-formed white styrene, which were an immediate success. Simultaneously, Russkit was developing their own line of chassis and motors, including the infamous "Black Widow" four-wheel-drive, dual motor chassis. Jim would go on to produce a wide range of products from controllers and licensed bodies, to tires and wheels, all from a 6,000 square foot Los Angeles.
