Hot Wheels does a 57 wagon!

[Zapato]

Don't know how many of you guys collect toys or not. My wife is always bringing me Hot Wheels and today she brought home a 57 wagon. Its a 2012 issue for whatever reason their calling it 8 CRATE,  #8 of 10 in this years HW PERFORMANCE series. Personally hope to find a few more.

Only ones I could find were 1955 Wagons.  Never found a '57.

I picked this up at the Pate swap meet last month.
Toys? in my storage shed I have about 200 mostly Texaco collectibles..mostly die cast banks, and mostly the ones Texaco sold at the gas stations for about 20 years...old cars, planes,race cars, trucks,Teddy bears, gas pumps,ect. A lot of duplicates, but close to a hundred different items I'd guess. also other than Texaco.LOL..Anyone interested? My house in Colorado had 3 rec rooms..one of which was about 1/2 the size of our current house...I just don't have room any more for all the stuff I collected over the years

Looks like they came out with this in 2003 and have issued it many times.

I had no idea - I'll try and get one to match my wagon.

Never had seen the earlier versions, and several colors who knew. guess I'll be wasting a lot of time at the HW displays. My wife seems to have better luck  finding them so will have to put her on the case.

Sorry...got to tag along with Tom on this.  Grill, turn signals, hood, header, bumper, side moulding, fender........

[Zapato]

You're right! my goof.........

Since we have gotten onto a thread about the MatchBox 57 Fords thought I'd pop in with a find I got last year at a Cackle Fest/Car Show.  The first find was a 57 Fairlane 500 in the same paint scheme as my Custom 300.  Had to have it, no big deal, as they had several of them.  Then I saw the 57 Ford Car Hauler with a Fairlane 500 being hauled inside the trailer.  Had to have it, too.  Then I came across the 57 H/Stock Fairlane 500 and had to have it, too.  Now all three sit amongst my other display Fordsin the cabinet that has all my wife's Precious Moments figures.  My way of demanding (politely of course) "equal rights." LOL

Looks like the toy maker might have taken some liberties. Grill and bumper look like 55, tail fins look like 57.

And what the heck is that roof thing? A window to look in? Or a thumb-hole to push it around?

[Zapato]

It was the fins that fooled me, the rest could be custom changes. But the upright A pillar settles it as not a 57. Clear roof is to view rear mounted engine.

This would be correct if we were down under.57 Ford's down there were 56's as known here in the states.
