Matchbox 1970 Datsun 510 Rally Photos

The trouble with tiggers is that they are much bigger than this little '70 Datsun 510 Rally from Matchbox.


This is a 2017 model Matchbox car from the MBX Explorers series.  It's ready to rally!



This car has a detailed paint job and a bright orange body.  It's a cool addition to any model car collection.

Hot Wheels Track Ripper Photos

I recently added this Hot Wheels Track Ripper to my collection.  It is part of the 2019 Speed Blur series of cars.


I'm not sure what inspired this car.  I see elements of a variety of cars.  But, the Track Ripper definitely looks right at home in front of this aging garage.



The paint job on this little car reminds me of the paint found in spy photos of the latest test mules and concept cars from Detroit.  I do think that the blue plastic bumpers detract from the overall look.  But, it's a cool car.

Hot Wheels: 1964 Chevy Chevelle

This little Hot Wheels car has captured my photographic attention lately.  It's a nice looking retro car with a powerful engine rising from the hood.  Here are a few photos that I've taken of it lately.


Hot Wheels:  1964 Chevy Chevelle

Here it is on the cover of an anthology of short stories put together by The WolfPackAuthors, a group of up and coming writers.  You can follow them on twitter at #WolfPackAuthors.  The proceeds of  "Once upon a WolfPack" are going to the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center(LARC)--a wolf rehabilitation center that works with veterans returning from war.


One thing that I like about this car is the chrome grill.  It's got an old time shine.


This car definitely looks good when it has a moment in the sun.  The red lines around the tires really contribute to the retro look.
