Hot Wheels Photo - '69 Copo Corvette #4

Here's a recent addition to my growing Hot Wheels collection.  It's a 2021 Hot Wheels Corvette Series -  '69 Copo Corvette.  What's a Copo Corvette?  If you thought it had to do with Copo Cabanas, you'd be wrong.

According to Hagerty.com, COPO stands for Central Office Production Order.  It was a way for Chevy dealers to order cars with options that weren't regular production options.

This Hot Wheels version sports a cool paint job and excellent wheels.

Hot Wheels Photo: C3 Corvette Stingray

I got this Chevy Corvette C3 in a Hot Wheels multi-pack.  It's a cool looking car with a metal base and all plastic body.  For some reason, the all plastic body of this Hot Wheels car concerns me, but I'm totally cool with the fiberglass body of a real Corvette C3.

Hot Wheels Photography Tip:  Sunglasses and a few trees in the background give this Vette photo a tropical feel.  Amazingly, I didn't even have to travel to Aruba to take this photo!

Hot Wheels Convertible Corvette Out On The Town

If you are going to own a Chevy Corvette C7 Z06 Convertible, you can't keep it in the garage all the time.  You've got to cruise.  You've got to get out on the town to see and be seen.  It's no different with this Hot Wheels version.

This shapely car just begs to be seen under the bright lights of the big city.  This one is taking in the scene at The Battery a development that includes the Atlanta Braves stadium.

Hot Wheels Corvette C7 Z06 Convertible

If you want a Corvette C7 Z06 Convertible, it helps to have $60,000 to $80,000 available.  If your budget can't accommodate it, you can downsize your Corvette dream to a more manageable $1 or so for this Hot Wheels version.

Since this pocket-sized version doesn't have a 6.2 liter V-8 pumping out 650 horsepower, it sits easily atop the gas pump.  The full-sized version would get about 13 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway.

No matter what size your Corvette comes in, it always looks fast!

Hot Wheels Chevy Corvette C7 Z06

Here's my mid-life crisis car--a Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06.  Against the backdrop of brilliant red, it looks like it's out on the town and racing towards excitement.  With a 650 horsepower V-8, this 'vette should get there plenty fast.

Of course, this Hot Wheels Corvette is a tad small to serve as a mid-life crisis car, but then I've always found real Corvettes to be a tight squeeze so it works out.

So where was this Corvette off too? What was its exciting destination? I'll reveal a Hot Wheels photography secret.  There was no fancy backdrop.


This little Corvette was headed to the drive thru window at my local Wendy's one evening when I took these shots.  The walls that serve as a backdrop are merely the exterior walls of a newly remodeled Wendy's fast food restaurant.  The lighting was from streetlights nearby.  When you hit a fast food joint with a $1 Hot Wheels car in your pocket, you don't have to worry about burger or fry grease.

Hot Wheels Callaway C7R Corvette

We haven't featured a Corvette lately so here's a nice one from Hot Wheels.  It's a Callaway C7R Corvette and it's made for the track.  So, I drew it a little track on a legal pad.
