The VW Bug is a Hot Wheels casting based on a 1953 - 1957 VW Bug and was created by Hot Wheels designer Larry Wood. It was released into the line-up in 1989. This is not the first Bug to be in the Hot Wheels line-up; the Original Bugs or Beetles were released as part of the 1968 "Sweet Sixteen". Although the Custom Volkswagen was issued in two different countries back then and were very different from each other, this resembles the Hong Kong casting. There was it’s other famous striped cousin the Volkswagen (1974) which more resembles the US version of the Custom Volkswagen.
Based on the C4 Corvette ZR-1 Convertible. The base reads "83' Custom Corvette". The Hot Wheels version debuted in 1989 and was discontinued in the 1999 Final Run Series, after 11 years in production. Although it was officially discontinued in 1999, in 2000 a strange version similar to the 1998 Tropi-Cool Series (except with no tampos) was released only in Mexico.
The '32 Ford Delivery is based on designer Larry Wood's own car. Full-fendered with a V8 engine, this sedan was made to deliver in both speed and style.
The Ferrari F40 is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in 1989 and was discontinued in 2014. It is based on the real life Ferrari F40 of which only 1,311 samples were built to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary. At its time of release, the Ferrari F40 was the fastest production car in the world (over 500 units produced) with a top speed of 199mp/h and a 0-60mp/h time of 4.2 seconds.
The Chevy Stocker is a licensed Hot Wheels model designed by Larry Wood. It is modeled after the 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was produced by Chevrolet through six generations from the 1970 to the 2007 model years. It was marketed as a personal luxury car; the Monte Carlo had outlived many competitors that were either discontinued or changed in concept to either a four-door sedan or small sport coupe.
This ambulance is not to be confused with the Ambulance vehicle of the same name that was released in 1970. This car was featured in the PC game, Hot Wheels: Bash Arena. It had a High attack and Defense, and moderate Handling, but low speed and Acceleration. In the game, it was purple and had a Woolly Mammoth on it.
The School Bus or just Bus in some releases is everything you expected with it's name, a generic School Bus seemingly based off the classic school transportation of the sixth generation Ford B series.
This casting is a depiction of a 1988 Suzuki Samurai. This casting is not to be confused with the Street Rodder, which has a similar name but is otherwise unrelated. Early versions of the casting have "SUZUKI" cast into the front grill; it was removed around 1995.
