isn't vinyl a plastic? They were sold as "plastic" node cones....the engine mount was also "plastic".....
http://www.whatisvinyl.com/ How do you know that these vinyl plastic nose cones weren't either injection-molded or blown-mold? I'm sure both techniques were well known in 1958. I never heard anything from GHS on how the vinyl nosecones were made. That plastic fin unit for the Dirty Bird was from a fireworks piece. Early catalogs show it being sold in either Estes or Centuri or both catalogs of the period. Terry Dean

The vinyl nose cones were (irrespective of the casting method used to make them) more like hard rubber and were somewhat flexible, unlike the rigid injection-molded styrene and blow-molded (polyethylene, I believe they're made of) nose cones of today.
