Hot Wheels A-Team Van

Somewhere in the Los Angeles underground a renegade Special Forces A-team is hiding and helping people in distress. This is the Hot Wheels version of their van.  I've pictured it emerging from Los Angeles drainage canal.

The A-Team was an iconic 80s television show.  Unfortunately, my mom and dad wouldn't let us watch it because it was violent and more importantly because it was dumb.  But, that makes the show all the more enjoyable now.  If you'd like a little background on the show and why you should watch it, check out this post on the A-Team as a cure for boring summer reruns.

 I don't remember the real A-Team van having blue lights.  So, that is an interesting feature!

However, my 80s memory must be fading because this full-size replica does show a light bar:

Overall, I'd say that the Hot Wheels A-Team van is a fairly accurate rendition of the original.  I can see it emerging from the LA underground to help people.
