I always thought the Blackhawk was cool. It would make a nice casting.

Since HW's destroyed their casting I'd assume it's fair game?

Here's an idea . . .

I think they would need to be finished in black fuzzy fake velvet (like the fake velour flocking you use to see on some greeting cards) That would make them match the Elvis paintings sold on street corners and at flea markets.

Nah ... I don't think Elvis had any interesting cars. Maybe an Elvis commemorative set like the Marilyn Monroe set would work.

I'd prefer cars that were featured in Elvis movies. I really liked the MB Elvis movie cars. I was hoping the series would continue to include the race car from Viva Las Vegas.

I might buy some Elvis cars if they were cars that he actually drove, either in real life or in his movies. I wouldn't buy Toppers with Elvis tampos though.

MB made some good ones. I got the purple Cadillac and his mom's pink Cadillac with the Graceland dioramas. I only bought those two. I thought they best represented how Graceland really looked back in the day.
Bring on the movie cars!

I'd buy them. Especially the Stutz, since Hot Wheels destroyed their mold back in '99.

Really I don't think I would buy into a series like that. The cars themselves would be alright but certainly not if they had to have any kind of Tampo's on them of any kind.

Not unless they were cars that actually appeared in TV or Movies with Elvis. Maybe a release of HOW dedicated completely to Elvis screen cars??
