    Was watching Svengoolie on MeTV network Saturday night and there was an advertisement for Collectors Call about a Hot Wheels mega collector. Sence I was about 10 years old when they hit the market and had a lot of the originals, thought it was worth to DVR it.
    Interesting how they got all the details of a car, pre-computer age, on a miniature. First they hand carved a wood model at 4 times the toy car size, then made a resin model from that for durability. Used a carving pantograph to down size it. These are supposedly to be very rare, here is the examples of the 4 times cars he had.

    I would say #2 of a series of 10.

    3+ would be ages appropriate for this toy.
