Hittin' Thursday AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE like a Moose to Turd Pie!! Let's do this... with an all-new HOT WHEELS CUSTOM CORVETTE MASTERPRINT and MUGSHOT! Let the RED HEADS outta the bag, baby!!
DID YOU KNOW?? According to Hot Wheels lore, because of the fact that Harry Bradley worked for GM shortly before moving to Mattel, he snuck out copies of the blueprints into his cane (he had polio) for the real '68 Stingray and used them as a base for the Hot Wheels model! SPY MODE ACTIVATED!! Since he was a designer there, he knew exactly where to get the materials for designing these new "Hot Wheels" in 1967; when the casting was released, GM "was not happy."
When the first 16 Hot Wheels debuted in the summer of 1968, the Custom Corvette was one of them. And the cat was out of the bag, as Chevrolet's 1968 Corvette was not due out for another few months still. This worked out in a good way, as it created more hype for Chevrolet and the Stingray from both kids and adults alike.
