How Fireball HOT WHEELS were LOST forever…

How Fireball HOT WHEELS were LOST forever…

Due to unforeseen circumstances and sibling rivalry, MY HOT WHEELS WERE SOLD in 1977. Nothing more painful for a kid than when you find out that ALL your Hot Wheels were sold at a family Garage Sale, but it happened. (I’m sure there are other more painful things that happen to kids, but you get my point.) It was bad…

My Collection included many FIRST EDITION REDLINES from 1968-1975. Cars that are worth a fortune now. And ever since then, I’d pick one up… only to sell it later. And I realized that the ONLY Diecast worth Collecting for me was FILM & TV CARS. It’s my passion, my drive… and actually my JOB as I’ve gotten to design many cars in film on many movies and TV Shows.

But now… I GET TO SKETCH THEM TOO! So today, we celebrate more DIECAST with this NEW HOT WHEELS SILHOUETTE Canvas Piece IN THE GARAGE! And as I write this, my phone just dingled and a young enthusiast in ILLINOIS just bought a JONNY QUEST Mug outta the store. Another example of connecting with nostalgia that gave us a GOOD FEELING. Thus, the LAW OF ATTRACTION constantly at work. GIVE GOOD, GET GOOD. Keep it up, people!

As always, 10% of everything IN THE GARAGE and in our EBAY STORE goes to DOG RESCUES!
