Ah, you thought after last week I had forgotten about those 1971 Hot Wheels...WRONG! They're baaaaaack!
This week we have the next three in the series. Let's take a look, shall we?
 |
| First we have the Hairy Hauler. The cool thing about this car is that the whole front of the car tilts forward to allow the driver to get in. |
 |
| Then we have The Hood. It features a small black plastic convertable top that extends over the seats. It's closed in this picture... |
 |
| Finally, the star of the show...The Ice T! This car features a black tailgate in the back that lowers to show two clear plastic "ice cubes." Very cool...literally! |
Well, there you have it. We still have plenty more 1971s to go, even though the year isn't complete.
Until next time, keep searching for treasure!
I still have my Ice T that I got at a class gift exchange when I was in Kindergarten. It's also the gift I brought for the exchange - I wanted it so badly that I fished around in the common Santa bag that we all put our gifts into until I found it. My mother was not pleased when I came home with it.
ReplyDeleteMine is green with green and red flames on the hood, and I don't remember there ever being ice cubes in the back. The top was stepped on at some point and I believe is lost, and the car is in a heavily-played-with condition, but I still have it. I think I'll pull it out tonight and reminisce.
Lol, the problem with bringing really cool gifts, I guess! It's cool that you still have it!
DeleteBy the way, my alerts have gone wonky and I just now saw your comment. I'll have to try to fix that...
