Two cars have made an impression on me.
This gorgeous Matchbox Citroen with its neat blue and red paint job.
Found by Missus Moonbase at a car boot sale.
And this weekend I saw a car being repaired by a brave owner, an American muscle car, the car that dreams are made of, the SST Javelin.
Here's a completely roadworthy one on Wiki.
It looks like a Hot Wheels!
Did they make a Javelin?
Hot Wheels sweet sixteen included a lot of american muscle, like Boss Hoss and Light My Firebird, but I don't recall a Javelin. Matchbox made an AMX Javelin, but its a different beast altogether: https://matchbox.fandom.com/wiki/AMX_Javelin
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like it, that Javelin. Maybe its just the angle and the colour that makes them look different. Hot Wheels were the kings of the track back then. I'd love to collect them. Are there cheap remakes of the sweet sixteen for paupers like me?
