That's funny. Have that same vivid memory. The smell was so unique. Especially the smell of the rubber tires.
Dont remember exactly which one was the first, was back in the early 70s I had to be around 6 or 7yrs old, but was either The Snake funny car or the Lunar Module. I remember the Lunar Module came in a plain cardboard box. It was from some model club that my mother had signed me up . I think it was either Testors or Aurora, and every few months they would send you another model. Another model from back then I remember building very well was the Creature from the Black Lagoon. After I built it, I was scared of it and wouldnt keep it in my room.
Also remember building caveman and dinosaur models that were part of a series.
