Mail Call from Charles in Louisiana!
Collection Details
Another exciting mail call! Just picked up a great collection from Charles in Louisiana—40 cars total with a really fun mix.
The standout has to be the insane bubble gum hot pink Custom Volkswagen. This one always turns heads. A fun fact about the 1968 Custom Volkswagen: it was Hot Wheels’ very first take on the VW Beetle, but with a twist—it featured a blown V-8 engine, center steering wheel, and custom styling inspired by a 1960s model kit, making it more of a wild show car than a traditional Beetle.
Always a thrill adding pieces like this to the collection.
Big thanks to Charles for the smooth deal and great cars!
If you or someone you know has any Hot Wheels Redlines tucked away, feel free to reach out and message me—always happy to talk Redlines!
