Last week Saturday I was showing off my Hot Wheels ’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser collection on Instagram. Unbeknownst to me, the casting’s latest edition was being handed out at the El Segundo Mattel Employee Association’s (MEA) annual dinner dance. The #MEA Dinner Dance cars are nothing new […]
I showed this picture on the @orangetrackdiecast Instagram the other day and I was surprised at the attention it garnered. That alone tells me that A) You guys love the Hot Wheels #’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser as much as I do, and B) I should really show […]
Hard to believe that up until now, the most current Hot Wheels Chevy #Silverado casting we had was over a decade old. Granted, in the last decade, the design of the Silverado hasn’t changed much. Enter the #’19 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss LT. Its more aggressive front-end styling […]
