I am not sure what the difference is between the Radio Jet and the Radio Flyer. But anyway this is the Jet. Has a bit of rust but it is still water tight. I'll put it away next winter as it doesn't need more rust. Works fairly well but it could use some oil/grease.
I didn't measure it but its a normal full size wagon.
OMG, you bring some memory back my friend, i remember, 50 years ago, in Quebec city running downhill,Cote Sault au matelot, old city part, on one of those Express, wow, almost kill myself.
I am not sure, but i think it's regarding the lenght of the Express, the Jet was Longer
Really in amazing shape.

The Jet should be about an inch narrower and a couple of inches shorter. Also would have 8 in wheels where the Flyer had 10 in. That was at least true in some years.
Thank you very much AzTom. The Jet is about an inch narrower but the other dimensions are the same. Perhaps if the Flyer was the same age it would be different.
Thank you Trey.
Thank you very much kaputs11. Quite kind of you.
How can I tell what year MY Radio jet wagon was manufactured? Is there a model number or date on the wagon itself?9
Scrappy check to see if it has metal hubs or plastic hubs. Plastic hubs would indicate 197s and metal hubs earlier.
