Die-cast 67-72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think some of those wild Hot Wheels designs have found their way into real car design studios. I like all that, too. Just don't need to collect them and wish one or two could be a Chevy truck I want. I used to casually find the trucks on the pegs. I think all the big box stores, who mostly sell these, have stock people hooked up to dealers who put them on Ebay. I used to buy the crap out of Hot Wheels 20 or so years ago. I bought anything that caught my eye. I had the Radio Flyer wagon, toilet, shopping cart, you name it. I ended up selling most of that in recent years and am trying to be more discriminatory. I have a tendency to go overboard on things, I have learned, so I am being picky these days. When I buy on Ebay I try to buy in lots to divide the shipping cost up better. Especially multiples of a truck I want to customize

Funny you should mention that! The stylist that had more to do than most anyone else for the '67 Chevy/GMC 'look' was a guy by the name of Harry Bradley. It just so happens Bradley left GM soon after designed those trucks and went to work for Mattel. To design Hot Wheels cars!
