Featured Skateboards: <\/strong>Exotic Wood (Hobie), Hawthorne Fast Track Tiger, Hawthorne Dart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1966 Montgomery Ward Spring Summer Catalog, Page 624. About a quarter of a page in 1966, down from a full page in color the year before. Looks like the price of the Dart went up 18\u00a2 from $5.97 last year, unless they accidentally transposed the last two digits. Selling just the wheels is new this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
