Hot Wheels 1970 Buick GSX (N4010) from 2009 Mainline New Models

In 1970 Buick introduced the GSX option to the Skylark as an answer to the GTO, 4-4-2, and Hemi 'Cuda. And a great looking muscle car it is. The Hot Wheels version, here, looks great in red and is from the casting's introduction in 2009 to the Mainline. From the card back:
"Specialty: With a hood-mounted tachometer and front and rear spoilers, this muscle car was made to take the streets and take your pinks."

Hot Wheels So Fine (N9059) - from 2009 Larry's Garage series (15 of 20)

Another version of Hot Wheels' So Fine casting - this time from the premium series Larry's Garage. The model is a modified 1951 Buick. The two tone paint is well done, but is a disappointment. The flat rust looks like primer to me, so the car feels unfinished. The wheels look good for this casting and the chrome grill really give it a menacing look.

Hot Wheels So Fine (X1836) from the 2013 Mainline American Turbo Segment (184/250)

So Fine is a custom rod based on a 1951 Buick Roadmaster. Great example of a great casting, but the tampos, especially around the engine ports, is a little off. The lines of this model look fantastic, and the grill is superb. Need to find the premium example that was released as part of Larry's Garage series.
