What's the good news ? All I see is a photo of an ugly car with wrong striping and stupid wheels... :rant:
I see Dan, I just don't like that whole hot wheels look all together. Is this the same body as used on the Johnny Lightning series ? But the Boattails are finally getting recognition from the die cast fabricators :TU: Like the 1:18 models by Road Signature or this 1:43 model I received from the UK the other day:
Personally I wish the '68-'69 Riv would get some recognition from the large scale die cast manufacturers. The Hot Wheels Riv may not be a stocker but at least it introduces a new generation to the cars fantastic shape. I know when I was a kid I dreamed about owning the real cars my Hot Wheels were modeled after, Imagine a world with no toy Buicks, only Chevys and Fords. :shock:
Hey Dan, Guess what ? Someone came over to me last Sunday at the King Cruise (American car meeting here in the Netherlands) and gave me one of those Boattails as a present :TU: Nice gesture, and I have to admit that they look cool in real life, despite what my first impression was... :laugh: :laugh: :bglasses: They were selling them for 1,75 Euro each, that's only US$ 2.22
