Carvel is gone from area! Used to be one here in Watertown but closed up a few years ago. I remember there being one near East Syracuse when I was younger but I am not sure that one is around anmore either.
I'd say they're darn cute - especially the Bread Box and Custom Chevy. They have a certain pizazz about them. For an Ice Cream theme, they could have been worse.
You can find Carvel ice cream cakes in your grocer's freezer aisle... That sounded like an ad.
I don't think I ever saw an actual place, but I remember ads urging me to "Buy Fudgie the Whale for your father on father's day" in a Bostonian(?) accent when I was a kid.
The Power Panel is a little out of place and I wish that HW had used clear windows on all of the cars (especially the Bread Box), but all of the cars look pretty nice! The Haulin' Gas and Ice Cream Truck are especially tempting...
We Got a Carvel Ice Cream Store About A mile from where I live in North Syracuse. I Like and I Love All those Carvel Ice cream hotwheels. I can't wait to bring these all home and put them into my hotwheels collection.:wave::thumbsup:
I saw these at the local Wally World today... and passed on all. I wasn't really impressed. I can see them being good custom fodder for those more skilled than me
The castings they used are OK, but the card art is pretty vanilla.
At some point this year they are doing Classic Rock, AC/DC, and KISS are a few that I remember. That is the set I'm waiting on.
I'd like to see a set with some old school metal album covers. The cover of Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden would look good on the side of Hiway Hauler. Some of Megadeth's album covers are good too.
I bought the haulin gas, love that casting, the custom chevy ice cream truck, and the power panel, i grew up in maryland, right down the street from a Carvel store, i even got a ice cream cake for my birthday there once..
