This board has an interesting history. The guy I bought it from was replacing the subfloor in his house here in Tennessee. It was was supporting a corner of a wall where the closet door was! There it was for years before it was found! These skateboards really are rare, and will only get harder to find. If you need better pictures please ask. The wheels spin freely. I have done no cleaning to any part of this and I have put no oil on the wheels. The board is 20″ long and 5″ wide. This is the harder to find one with the yellow hubcap/wheel covers. Only one other listing currently has the yellow wheel covers.
This is a true vintage Apollo Skateshop skateboard. It has normal signs of wear from use and age. Please refer to pictures to get an accurate idea of wear to it. All parts are original. Metal wheels still spin pretty freely and are not rusted to a stop. The board itself is still strong and firm. The grapics on it are pretty clear still other than tha bottom right portion of it. There is a dark spot on the right lower side of it as well. It measures 23″ long and is just under 5.5″ wide. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out.
A vintage classic Apollo skateboard with some minor touch ups I’m thinning out my collection this is a great deal on a decent Apollo the graphics are pretty decent not spectacular but legible I seen worse than this go for over 350 get this deal while you can.
Scooters had anywhere from two to four wheels. In the 1940s and 1950s, crate scooters made popular sidewalk vehicles. Most crate scooters were handmade. Eventually kids started removing the boxes and handlebars and just started riding the board with wheels, reminiscent of the famous skateboard scene in the 1985 film.
The Holy Grail if you ask me.. Remembering our historical 1960s ventures into outer space (Apollo happened in’61). Its of the era whereby these first wooden boards with metal wheels were meant to teach you how to surf by what was assumed to be easier… This one is in much better shape than most… And these are very rare. Made in Little Rock Arkansas! 23.25″ L x 5.5″ W. It doesn’t get cool than this folks! Vintage space travel meets vintage skateboarding!
