Hot Wheels '52 Chevy Pickup Multi-Pack Exclusive

I just happened to see this one hanging around in a 20-pack at Toys R Us a couple weeks ago. I don't often buy multi-packs, but this truck and a couple others in the set sold me. Mostly, though, it was this truck.

The '52 Chevy isn't a favorite of mine, but I like it well enough. This is my favorite of all of them released so far, though, by far. The satin blue color with the black trim and gray 5-spoke wheels just looks really good. 

This is a multi-pack exclusive color. I found this one in a 20-pack, but I've also seen it in some 9-packs and if you're really lucky, you might see it in a 3-pack.

Richard Petty's '70 Plymouth Superbird

I'm slowly working on collecting the Hot Wheels '70 Plymouth Superbirds. I have a few so far, but there are two that I know are going to be tough (read: expensive) to acquire. The big one is the 2009 Connect Cars. Prices on that one seem to hover around $75. Ouch! The other big one is the 2011 Vintage Racing Richard Petty car. So, I can scratch the Vintage Racing car off the want list now since I got a pair of them in the mail.




Of course, the only reason to get two of them is so I can set one free...



This really is a beautiful piece and is easily a favorite in my collection. The attention to detail is great with the Petty Racing graphics, detailed window trim, door handles, hood & trunk pins and fuel filler. This car even gets a different interior from the standard Superbird releases and has a single racing seat and a roll cage. Then it's finished off with some Goodyear Real Riders and a metal base. This car is an absolute stunner and a great piece for any Hot Wheels collection.
