Do you have any top favorite castings that you like for some reason - and not even because of the kind of car it is, but you just like it? Maybe it's one you always stop to check out, even if it's a mainline. Maybe it's outside your usual line of interest, or maybe not, but somehow it lands in your shopping cart most of the time? I do.
Here are mine in no particular order...
Shelby Cobra 427
Not so much anymore since the mainlines lost the metal base, but I like this one a lot. And I'm not even a big fan of the 1:1.
Buick Grand National
Always liked the angular 80's design of this casting. Again, not so much anymore as the mainlines lost the removable hood, which I enjoyed. But I have no less than eight of these things to my name.
'68 Mercury Cougar
Another one I really like the lines of. There just aren't enough Cougars - and Harold Sage would agree! :lol: No other Cougars for me though, just the '68.
Vairy 8
Whenever I think of my favorite Hot Wheels, the Vairy 8 always comes to mind. I dig the hood louvers, the air scoop in the back window, the racing seats and mid-mounted engine with velocity stacks, and the big/little tire arrangement. And I'm not a big racing or hot rod fan either. This little car packs a lot of pocket punch even as a mainline. In metal/metal, Real Rider form it's a knock out. in my opinion. See that new Boulevard version? Wowzers!
'67 Pontiac GTO
I've always gotten a kick out of that looong tail on the Hot Wheels GTO, along with the flying buttresses on the back window. Classic muscle car, with just a bit of that classic Hot Wheels cartoonishness.
'63 Studebaker Pickup
I just think this one is really clean and well done. Nice details, and you don't have to be a truck person to like it. I would probably buy any one as long as the tampos weren't wack.
'69 Dodge Charger
Another favorite casting with a subtle Hot Wheels flair, along similar lines of the '67 GTO.
How about yours? :wave:
