Study Of A Hot Wheels #4: '32 Ford Vicky



Considering my well-documented Deuceophilic habits, I've only got a couple of them in my Hot Wheels collection. Both of them green - should I read something into that? This is a 2004 'reissue' of one of the original Redline Hot Wheels, issued as part of a range of 24 cars, in various colour schemes, in 1968. Dig those rectangular low-mounted headlights and the Gasser ride height.

I love the simpole clean look of the original issues of this car (check them out here - the blue is my favourite I think) but the tattoo-inspired tampos on this one are hella cool, fresh looking, and make the whole car for me. There's a whole series of these, called 'Tat Rods" which I think I just decided to collect - uh oh...
