Hot Wheels '55 Chevy Nomad "Speed Shop"

Here's a new Hot Wheels 1955 Chevy Nomad with "Speed Shop" decals striking an after midnight pose in North Florida just blocks from Jacksonville Beach.

Hot Wheels Batmobile

For those of us who grew up in the 1970s, there is only one Batmobile: the original 1966 Lincoln Futura-based model from the TV show. Here's a Hot Wheels rendition of the famous car.

My Hot Wheels: 1970 Ford Escort RS1600 Rally Car

I unleased this interesting little Hot Wheels Race Day series car from its packaging the other day.  It's a Hot Wheels 1970 Ford Escort RS1600 Rally Car with a Gumball 3000 sticker on the hood, sponsor decals from Bilstein and other race car equipment providers, and a bold number 3 on the side.

The original car was a lightweight speed demon that paired a 113 horsepower 1.6 liter engine with a lightweight 1800 pound car.  That gave it enough fury to land a role in Fast & Furious 6.  You can read more about the car and movie connection in this article on Edmunds.

Hot Wheels 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck

This truck isn't red.  But, it is the Hot Wheels version of the famed 1979 Dodge Lil Red Express Truck.  It's a nicely detailed little Matchbox car with a great paint job.

It really shines in the profile.  The striping is pure 1979 and the side pipes give it a macho edge that would be entirely politically incorrect in this environmentally aware era.

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 is a Hot Wheels '64 Chevy Chevelle SS, specifically the 2019 Speed Blur 10/10 [Teal] 62/250 edition. 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 Once upon a WolfPack, an anthology of short stories put together by The WolfPackAuthors, a group of up and coming writers.  As an introduction to these writers, the book is free here for Amazon Kindle. You can follow them on twitter at #WolfPackAuthors.

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

Hot Wheels 2019 Speed Blur 10/10 Chevelle SS

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