Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Hot Wheels Hot Rods - By Wayne Calder


For the last few Christmases, Hallmark has released smaller versions of Hotwheel's early releases as a Christmas Ornament. These work well for 1/87 concept vehicles. The interesting thing is that one of these has become prototypical as HotWheels has built two of its early cars in 1:1 scale! Fully functional. The blue TwinMill (a 2000 ornament) now exists in real life (albeit red in color). The purple car is Silhoutte. The copper car is Revvin' Heaven.
