I'm not even sure which series this release is. I've seen them listed as "oil can" when they come in these vintage oil can shaped packaging, but this one has wheel/tire at the top?(very nifty) Quality-wise, I think it's right around the level of the Black Box stuff, if not better than some.
Super cool paint job reminds me of another very nice hot rod I blogged recently. *drools again*
Removable hood is so cool. Rubberband often used by Mattel to keep things like that in place inside cases, they deteriorate after while, and I've seen it damage paint before. This one left a pretty bad residue, but I was able to clean it off without ruining the decals. I've had them destroy paint on premium cars before. Scary.
Sweet model! I really love this collection, it's great HW.
ReplyDeleteBut it's true, rubberband are very crappy with the time!
You'll find lots of information on the different casting here: http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide/blown34ford.html
Ah, thanks for the link! Looks like the car is from the Showcase(2004) Hot Rod Series.
