HOT WHEELS – MORE VINTAGE RED LINES

These are 4 of my favorite red line Hot Wheels that came out during the period of 1968-1969.

The 3 from 1968 are the Custom Mustang, Silhouette and Python. Hot Wheels are my favorite of all the diecast cars and I’m always on the hunt.

Even though they were designed originally for play-racing, they have turned out to be a favorite collectible for boys of any age. And, I’m still hunting for that Volkswagon Beach Bomb – surf boards out the rear window. Anyone with one of those is lucky in deed!!
