- (games) An engine-powered miniature racing car running on a circular track, tethered by cables to a central pole, popular in the 1940s.
- 2010 September 24, Robert C. Yeager, “For Tether Car Collectors, Originality Counts Most”, in The New York Times[1]:
- Spindizzies, or tether cars, come in three categories of descending value: original as raced, restored and reproduced. […] The best indicator of a spindizzy’s authenticity is its size, said Eric Zausner of Berkeley, Calif., who has an extensive collection. “Repros are always smaller because they come from second-generation molds.”
