Pool Side with a Johnny Lightning 1969 Chevy Camaro

Johnny Lightning brand die-cast cars were some of the best.  I collected mine when they were owned by Playing Mantis.  They had plenty of traditional muscle cars in their mix.  This is their take on the 1969 Chevy Camaro.

Currently, this car is still available on Amazon.  But, it is a pricey collector's item now.



I like this car because of its all-metal construction and nice wheels.  The hood also opens to reveal the V-8 engine.

Here's a real 1969 Chevy Camaro, but this one has a vented hood due to a massive 396-cubic inch V-8 powerplant!
