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.

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.
