Hey folks,

I saw this pic in one of the picture threads and I love this van! Can someone please give me the details so I can try to find one for my collection?

Thank you!

That's the '55 Chevy Panel from Hot Wheels.
Has been released many times, not sure where that one is from though.

this years first Kmart mail in.

^ that's all I needed. Thank you! It's the 2012 KMart mail in and it's going for a pretty penny on eBay. Sigh....

had one for trade for a long while.just traded it last week to a local guy and with the DD.

Forget the KMart mail-in. There are plenty of great versions of this truck available. Check 'em out.

^ thanks! I clicked on all the images and my favorite color scheme is still this year's K-Mart mail in. Sigh...

You have to buy 20 cars and mail in the cards to get this, right? So getting one off eBay for around $20+ wouldn't be a bad deal?

I have this one, my favorite color scheme

I have this one, my favorite color scheme.

That's a nice one Kevman. Funny how the card states opening hood when there is none on the '55 Panel. Opening hatch is close enough I guess.

Other than the hatch being at the end of the body opposite the hood!

Some nice Panels in this thread.

Hit up your local Swap Meet or a Flea Market as you can always wheel and deal for these as Mattel flooded the market with them in different color schemes.

I hear in my area many are picking them up at $10-$15

Check this persons auction....

Now where is the profit ???? Losing money isn't what's suppose to happen but it is happening everywhere.

Mattel flooded the market and people are dumping them for less than what they paid for them.

Gotta love smart-dumb people :lol:

Thanks for the link Liv!

Do all the '55 Panels come with an opening rear hatch and a motorcycle in the back?

I thought there was one because I thought I remember reading about one casting not having the back open.

I want to say their is 1 or 2 that do not have the rear door that opens.... I believe one is the Reese's ....

The one that I like is the one with the snowmobile inside the back instead of the motorcycle.

It's the Hot Wheels 2009 RLC Club Exclusive '55 Chevy Panel.

Now the 1/87 scale 55 Panels do not open as they were re-tooled closed.
