JL comes through again just when I thought the line might be toast.
I am very excited to hear that metal bases will return, but am very happy to see that number 13 spoiler!
Check it out...These 40ths have vin #'s under the hoods. (I did not know that)
And prizes??!!
Yeah, that was something Tom Z talked about last year at Lightningfest 08 only the contest/prizes were supposed to be a Lightningfest 09 event.
The main problem with the "VIN" being under the hood is that on many of the cars you can't open the hood enough to actually see it and if you can on some cars the paint is too dark to make it out.
Now that it's been said that the number 13 car pictured in the blog isn't a "REAL" spoiler can someone please elaborate on what that exactly means?
I wonder that too? What is a "real" spoiler? I have all the spoiler series and all the gumball number cars....They all have things in common, mostly the gumballs and open hood blown motors...yet some "real" spoilers dont have open hoods..#3 cobra and #3 70 challenger? I'd like to know the answer too?
Yes, it's about the plastic base but it's also about staying in series and being sold as a Spoiler. Real Spoilers have metal bases and are issued in a one up numbered series. Last one was the Vega wagon. There's already a #13 Spoiler so this Camaro ain't a Spoiler. It's just another numbered car to follow the other numbered cars in the 40th Series that also weren't Spoilers. Just a dodge to see if they can sell more of these "diecast."
