They are perfect Charactures for that time era,

as during that time CARTOONS was a pre-teen magazine that had Car Charactures just like that

Anyone else remember CARTOONS, the Car magazine that was a cross between MAD and HotRod ?

No, but I am not sure how I missed that one. It was my era and apparently my type of humor:

Remember the magazine PLOP?

I don't recall either of those. I guess I lived under a rock.

CARTOONS and CYCLETOONS too. Both were great magazines. I'll bet the designers at Estes read them -a poor attempt to steer this back on topic-

They reminded me of Odd Rods, the collector cards which are really similar to the CARtoons.

I think Wayne was more influenced by Mad Magazine --
The original Gooney names and graphics were:
Phantom
Saki-Bomb
Der Zepplin'
Goo-Bee Racer
Der Volksbuzzen
Der Baron
Of course, there was the Doctor Demento radio program with the occasional Monty Python piece.
It's kind of like the kid with multiple fathers and no exact DNA match.
I lifted the attached cartoon from a list of kits and their creators that Wayne created a few years ago--I received it from a gent with the Smithsonian. The problem with the list is that it misses the parentage of the pre-Kellner kits.
