Hot Wheels and real-life racing have gone hand-in-hand since the days on Snake & Mongoose back in the 1970s. In the 1990s it was #Jack Baldwin “Leading the Way” for the Hot Wheels Race Team. His famous ’93 Camaro race car has become a staple of the Hot […]
What started off as a project by Ford to build a Direct Injection, 1.0L Ecoboost Engine, turned into what we know of today as the Rip Rod. Taking designers from the United Kingdom and the United States, Ford developed this off-road race car around the aforementioned engine and the […]
The Dairy Delivery has been a collector favorite since its first appearance as part of the 1998 First Editions. This retro milk truck rides low, features a raked stance, and has plenty of real estate for graphics. In 2006, popularity of the Dairy Delivery reached an all-time high. The tool used to […]
We’re only in January, yet we’ve been graced with several #Hot Wheels Race Team vehicles for 2016 — two of which, have come via 5-Packs. This #Hollowback, along with the Ballistik from the Track Stars 5-Pack have been great surprises, and both have worn the #16 for 2016. While the […]
