  • Time for a good sit-back Sunday Showcase. Hot Wheels Car Culture has truly ushered in the Premium Golden Age at Hot Wheels. The sheer number of cool models can't even be counted. But I did anyway. At least my 10 favorites. From Car Culture, Fast & Furious Premium, Boulevard, Entertainment, and Pop Culture, I attempted to pick my 10 favorite. Let's see if you agree.

    Golden age of premium, you just nailed it. Although 100% series, vintage racing, garage series, old "drag strip demons" series made some legends, this Car Culture era is beyond all of them.

    the music is class the sound suit the show so well . luv it . the red Mercedes 300 SEL is the winner but the Nissans ,the Buick GNX and the Mercedes SEL are very nice indeed . although from what's in the cases behind i may have 20 other models .

  • @kleverich
    @kleverich 3 года назад +2

    Top ten from my own personal collection, in no particular order:
    - Black Buick GNX from F&F Motor City Muscle
    - Dodge Lil' Red Express Pickup, think it was in 50th anniversary packaging
    - Blue and white Chevy 4x4 truck from Boulevard
    - Red Buick Riveria from Boulevard
    - Yellow Lotus Esprit from British Horsepower
    - Chrysler Turbine from Boulevard (older series)
    - Pearl white Nissan Silvia S15
    - Red 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS from F&F 1/4 Mile Muscle
    - Deustchland Design Red Pig Mercedes
    - Simon & Simon Dodge Power Wagon
    There are several out there that I may like even more than these, but this list is what I have been able to obtain. Quite frankly some of these may have turned out to be pegwarmers, but I likes what I likes.

    Nice picks from your end! You chose from a wide variety which was nice to see. I would add the ‘97 Audi S4 saloon from Deutschland design to my list because it is one of those iconic, sleeper cars that one would never think is very fast. Next would be the beautiful Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Gorgeous subject and well replicated by HW.

    • @superrad1659
      @superrad1659 3 года назад +1

      except the 33 Stradale wasn't in *Car Culture* it was in the Boulevard series (unless I'm an idiot and blvd is PART of CC but i dont think it is lol). But yeah, they did a pretty good job with that one👍

  • @davidbeeson1178

I pretty much like them all and I sure am looking forward to the future and seeing what we get. My number one favorite out of the ones you showed is the skyline van, wow it is at least one of my all-time favorites. No matter what 10 any one person should choose, they are all correct because they are all so nice. Thank you for the awesome show sir

    John - I love your channel. Keep up the great videos! You need to convince your friends at Hot Wheels to inject some of their passion for giving us great collectors sets (Car Culture, Boulevard, TH, and STH) into the Hot Wheels ID series. There are so many great cars from the various collectors series that could be picked up and made unique for the ID series (which I feel splits the space between Treasure Hunts and Super Treasure Hunts). Some of the models you picked - 1969 Skyline Van, the Mercedes 190E 2.6, Nissan Skyline C-210, Nissan Sylvia S-15 and the Audi RS6 Avant are great candidates for the ID series. HW can change the colors, add the ID base and add some interesting tampos. I have collected all the ID cars so far yet feel some of the more recent cars - Speed Dozer, Sting Rod, etc - are just not interesting and out of step with the series. Also, HW seems to be in a reissuing mode for many of the ID models - Twin Mill (3), Bone Shaker (4), Huayra (3). (Plus, I don't think kids are collecting the ID cars.) I have to say some of the more recent IDs (Mazda RX-7 and Nissan Sylvia Drift cars, the 2020 Corvette and Porsche 918 - have given me hope!!) Either that, or HW should incorporate ID technology into one of the other series (TH, STH, CC, Blvd) or higher end mainlines, and kill the separate ID series. (The issue may be the plastic base required for the ID cars.) Thanks for the support,

    Also, as far as Car Culture, definitely the Grateful Dead T1 VW(love VW buses), the 72 Mercedes is unbelievably tight; line wise, the lowered ride height, wheel and color choice; absolutely stellar example, and while there are so many other great models I think the Fast Wagons green late model Volvo captures something special and delivers something truly special from an early era of a n iconic brand.
