2006 Convention Charity Car: Olds 442

The 2006 Annual Hot Wheels Convention was held in Atalanta, Georgia from March 29th - April 2nd. Mattel issued several event cars such as

2006 Nationals: '63 Split Window, '68 Nova, '50 Buick Woodie and W-Oozie
2006 Nationals Ticket Car: '56 Flashrider
2006 Nationals Dinner Car: The Demon
2006 Convention Charity Car: Olds 442
2006 HWC Convention Car: Purple Passion
2006 HWC Real Riders Convention Car: Bone Shaker

All of the cars were produced in limited numbers. you should be able to see their number of production in the special hologram behind the card (mine was not numbered). The reason it was not numbered I assume that this is a production surplus which is supposed to be scraped after they hit the number (supposed to be limited to 3000 cars released) in some way the car manage to escape from the death row and find its way to the open market

The car come with this spesification:
Gold Chrome Spectraflame with Black Interior
Dual Black Stripes on Sides of Hood with '442' in Black on Hood.
Clear Windows.
Black Rear Spoiler.
Chrome Deep Dish Centerline Wheels with Real Riders Rubber BW Tires.
Chrome Front Grill, Both Bumpers and Base

Vintage Hot Wheels Ad

Some vintage Hot Wheels ad that I found on the Net, love to make a poster out of it and put it on my HW room

Random Diecast Photo

A few weeks ago my wife have to stay in the hospital due to Dengue disease for a couple of days. My son and I stayed with her in the room. On the last day I decided to take my camera and play around a little bit with the window light and some toys that my son brought along to keep him accompanied. My London Routemaster Bus and 2 Tomica Dream Mario Kart.

To be honest I kinda like the outcome
