We had these growing up. Ours were red and yellow not red and blue. My brother and I did every stupid thing you could think of with them and we're both still kicking 50+ years later. Of course, these were not the only toys things we did stupid stuff with. Clackers, chemistry sets, BB guns...
My first car was a 1970 New Yorker four door, triple green with a 440. We would load it up with 3 across each seat and still not be touching shoulders. Loved that car and only had two complaints. The lack of a sure grip on mine along with 3.23 gears (I think) made that steel brick a dog off...

Found this and it's almost embarrassing. In 1944, privates serving in World War II with less than 3 years service made $50 a month, or $676.51 in 2016 dollars. I have no clue but I would guess a large percent were drafted and had less than 3 years service.
