About two months ago I was graced with the honor of conversing with Oscar Koveleski, founder of Auto World. Auto World was easily the largest and most famous mail order business for automotive related hobbies such as model kits, radio control, and of course, slot cars. Every year they sent out catalogs that to many a young American boy became their bible that year as they memorized verse for verse each product, how much it cost, and how much they would have to save to fill out that all-important order blank included in the catalog.
Time and time again, the words "Auto World" would pop up on various message boards throughout the Net, and the name "Oscar" was sure to be part of that thread. Questions of where is Oscar? and What is he up to today? are common, and I was fortunate enough to finally make contact with Oscar. Who is Oscar? Oscar Koveleski founded Auto World, one of, if not
THE most famous and successful mail order operations to ever take on the hobby industry. That Oscar and now I am very excited to bring to you an exclusive interview with Oscar Koveleski, a hero of mine and many others.
