Hot Wheels 1934 Ford (26787) from 2000 Hot Wheels Cool Collectibles

I snagged this from the last Hot Wheels Club meeting for $2.00. Here is a '34 Ford from the 2000 Cool Collectibles line from Hot Wheels (#26787). This is a nice little model with plenty of detail. From the package: The '34 Ford ranks as one of America's most popular hot rods. Over the years the custom car builders have turned thousands of these old Fords into unique, personalized street rods with enough horsepower to quickly scorch a quarter mile. With their appealing combination of good looks and maximum muscle, the '34 Fords are as popular today as they were during the '50s and '60s.

Hot Wheels Ford GT40 - 2000 Mainline

Hot Wheels has used this casting of the Ford GT40 a number of times. Here is the version from the 2000 mainline (collector #139). It is item # 27104. Also an excuse to try out different settings on my camera.

Matchbox Aero Junior (MB428) - from the 2000 Regular series

Here's another unusual casting from Matchbox - the aero junior ultra light (MB428) from the 2000 Regular series. Flea market find for $0.50, and a welcome addition to my die-cast aviation collection.

Matchbox Golf Cart (MB449) - #75 from the 2000 Regular series

I really appreciate that Matchbox will do the occasional off-beat vehicle - not everything has to be a muscle car. Here is a 1:56th scale golf cart from the 2000 Regular series. It is a perfect representation of its real-life counterpart. Not sure where it fits in my collection, but as I got it for 50¢, buying it was a no-brainer.

1999 Izuzu VehiCROSS - from Hot Wheels 2000 mainline First Editions

Again, got this carded for 2/$1.00 from a flea market. Hot Wheels at its best - stock version, realistic tampos, and nice re-creation of the original. Here is the 1999 Isuzu VehiCross (item#24392).
