Its a Sweet Rides

Its A sweet sweet rides this is, got some of them loose off from online store. Really like all of them and am wondering if i should get the rest (10 more casting) to complete the series. I particularly like the Sweet theme used in this series.

Some individual pics put together, saves me times to upload one by one. From top to bottom, left to right, they are ... 55' chevy panel (Reese), Highway Hauler (Whoppers), Anglia Panel (Crybaby), Fat Fendered 40 (Blow pop) and Dairy Delivery (Toosie Roll/POPS).

Some rear views of some of them with tempos. Mind you the Chevy Panel DO NOT COMES with the bike, it is not missing it just that Hot Wheels figures its a delivery truck so no bike is needed.

There you have it.... will post more if i mange to get hold of them when i have funds for them.

2 of the coolest releases.. can't wait to get the other 3.

DELIVERY - PENNZOIL & CONOCO

New Delivery Slick Rides haul, Custom 77 Dodge Van featuring CONOCO and also the long awaited Convoy Custom featuring PENNZOIL. The Convoy is starting to get cheaper on the secondary market as compare to 6 months ago, guess the hype has gone down. Glad to be able to get hold of it for my set. The newly release Dodge Van was looking great too and the rims compliment the casting and the Conoco brand.

Convoy Custom is one of the sort after casting in the Slick Rides series because of its a new huge casting with real riders wheels. The brand and color also compliment the casting very well, and with the 2nd color variation just release, guess the Convoy will just get hotter.

Custom Dodge Van feature blue interior, blue tinted window, blue body with CONOCO brand. Comes with metal base and awesome looking real riders wheels. This was release only in Case N and later in Case R.

Both are awesome casting and in the next Slick Rides posting will feature some of the last releases for the series which include the 69' VW squareback, Ford C.O.E, GMC Panel and 66' Dodge A100. Can't wait for them to arrive and be sure to check out my blog for more Hot-Wheels updates.

Delivery 2009 - Sweet Rides

2009 release a new series by Mattel called DELIVERY series. A series of trucks or related casting used for sweet delivery was use in this series. Its was made with metal body and metal base but spots plastic wheels. 15 casting was selected to bring this series out and it was so popular that it sold out and was then continue to a new release with new theme in 2010.

If you’re old enough, you probably remember special delivery trucks driving into your neighborhood on a regular basis, distributing things like milk, baked goods, and (of course) ice cream. In an homage to these benevolent bringers of bounty, look for the new Hot Wheels® Delivery series of vehicles to load up and move out soon, beginning with a segment of candy-coated castings. Well, they’re not actually edible… just candy themed!



The inaugural segment of the Delivery series is comprised of 15 of the finest Hot Wheels® castings known to collectors. Each will feature die-cast body and chassis and a brilliant deco honoring some of your favorite confectionary creations. Since they won’t rot your teeth, you can feel free to indulge!
