20 years ago the Red Line Club was launched on HotWheelsCollectors.com. The slogan “we still make them like we used to” could be seen in print advertisements in various diecast magazines trying to bring a community that had largely existed offline, online. The RLC was all about breathing […]
Hot Wheels collectors have seen a wealth of new “coke-bottle” Chargers from the late ‘60s / early ‘70s as of late. Between the sleek restomod ‘69 that debuted in the Red Line Club, and the crazy wide-body ‘68 that is in Fast & Furious premium — in addition […]
