I love the green one.They missed the mark with that flamed one.First of all,I`m not crazy about all this 50`s styling on `70s vehicles goin`around.It just confuses those who weren`t around to know better.But,as a replica it`s just cheesy to me.What`s with the silver paint all around the glass?Don`t they do chrome?The grille and bumper could sure use it.i`m just picky I guess.

I think the silver is a cheap option for chrome on these little ones to keep cost down. It's just suppose to look like chrome. Could you amange the price to have real chrome done for a $2.00 product.
Now this set has the real stuff on them. I paid for it too!:lol:

**special-K** · 11-23-2009, 08:09 AM

I was just saying something cuz it seems dumb to put the un-chrome where it wouldn`t be chrome anyway.I`m just real selective anymore,to keep the collection from getting out of hand.$1 Hot Wheels have chrome,right?And,all the other replicas I see.I like these,I`ll just pass on the flamed one.It took a while to go for the Von Dutch Jadas because of the hokie`50s styling.But,I`m glad I went for them now.That casting is one of the best so far,imo.They`re longbeds and look good that way.I like that about them,too.

Ant it funny how after we collect things for awhile we start picking them apart. I do that now. I want buy any diecast at all anymore in less it's a 67-72 chevy truck. All the other stuff is a waste to me now. LOL Ha!!!

Tim. they used the silver paint like that on all of these 67-72 pickups.

I guess it just shows up more on the flamed truck.I haven`t had my hands on any of these yet.I like the casting itself.I`d like to paint some.most I`ve seen I like as they are.

I was going to start a thread about this, the title just says New so I'm not sure how many others will post up there die cast, hotwheels, or other toy car models.

I think I like buying them for my 2yr old son more then he realizes. lol

Mike, where did you locate the 60-66 models? I remember seeing one about 3 months ago (didn't buy it) and now I can't locate any more.

Nate, if you have a Kmart local, try there. If no Kmart, try Walmart, Target, or Walgreens. Some of the larger grocery stores like HEB or United carry Hot Wheels also.
