Casting History
Casting History
Larry Wood designed this original dual-turbine truck concept, which debuted in the 2015 HW City / City Works assortment. The card's 2014 born date is the design year, distinct from the 2015 release. Its low stance and paired jet engines are moulded styling features. Basic versions have a plastic body and metal base; the DHC08 Nationals dinner version instead has a metal body and metal base. Collector reports identify that premium version with the 2015 Lexington Nationals event; a reported 1,500 quantity is secondary catalog information, not independently verified Mattel production evidence.

Turbine Time — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
Which details separate one release from another?
Compare the casting name with the year, toy number, finish, graphics, wheels and package markings shown for that version.
Does the copyright year on the base always match the release year?
No. The base copyright can predate the year a particular color or package appeared. Use the release markings and packaging together.
What should I inspect on a loose example?
Check the paint, printed graphics, wheel faces and base for wear or damage. Those details help compare condition between examples.
What does the carded photograph show?
It documents the package design and the car as sold. Loose-car photos are shown separately when an exact view is available.
