Well went to my local antique mall again Friday since my dad was off that week and got some more vehicles. We went upstairs for the first time ever and I found even more places carrying Hot Wheels than before. Didn't get anything "super interesting" like last time, but I did find some good ones.
Houston Astros promo '65 Corvette, Kraft promo Nissan Hardbody....
and a Brach's promo Way 2 Fast, all for a $1 each!?!? First I get those Hydroplanes for 99 cents and now this? What is going on here?
80's Corvette. Seen this the last time I visited and I have been wanting to restore it, so I got it!
Pontiac Salsa for customizing.
This crazy Miata.
Been 7 years since I last saw it and I made sure I didn't miss out this time.
Camaro Convertible. Couldn't resist the flashy color!
And then this. I don't believe it, a Corgi Chevrolet Corvette in mint condition!
Ironic how it looks very closely alike to the 80's Corvette, but from a different brand. Now I just need to find my Hot Wheels version and do a comparison. Debating on doing a wheel swap for this one.
I seen another Corgi of some sort next to it but I forgot what it was. I always had a gut feeling Jack had some old Corgi's somewhere, but I wasn't sure where. I need to see if he has more because I am really wanting to start a collection of them as well.
Of course, here is the receipt:
In case anyone can't read it, the "Coke car" is the Corvette which was $2 and all the rest where a $1 each.
Would have bought more, but due to a lot of uncertainty of the prices and what all they had upstairs since it was my first time visiting, I left a few behind (Lamborghini Diablo being one of them.
) because of it, but luckily I know now. Hopefully they will still be there when I go again.
