First Look: Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment GMC Motorhome...

Great to see a reference to Stripes in the Hot Wheels lineup, and also great to see this old casting looking so snazzy.

Take away the movie reference, and you still have a great-looking retro Motorhome.  We like it a lot, and wonder if we will see this model again in the Retro line as Ron Burgundy's San Dee-aw-go to The Big Apple transporter...

Hot Wheels GMC Motorhome (2014 Retro Entertainment):

Model of the Day: Matchbox Battle Mission 5-pack 1957 GMC Pickup...

Yeah, this has been around for a bit, but it is worth a look.

Matchbox 5-packs (actually, all Mattel 5-packs) have not been high on the purchase list of late.  I purchased an Exotics 5-pack earlier this year, plus a couple from Hot Wheels, but that is about it.  Not a complaint, mind you.  5-packs are all about attracting the kids, so bright colors and exaggerated models prevail.

But there are models I will buy no matter how much it costs to get them.  The 1957 GMC Pickup is definitely one of them.  From the Walmart exclusive from a few years ago to this new military version, this model always looks good.

As much as current pickups bore the hell out of me, I can't profess my love for classic pickups enough. Doesn't matter the make, anything from the 80's and earlier with a bed is a Lamley pleaser.  And the GMC is as good-looking as they come.  I fancy the black version the most, and this military version, minus the grey grill and way-too-modern "MBX" logo in the rear, looks swell as well.

So I collect them all.  And I photograph them.  And I post them.  And they are all here.  Enjoy...

Matchbox Monday Model of the Day: 1957 GMC Stepside...

(As always, Matchbox Monday is sponsored by our good friends at MVE Collectibles.)

I have been hanging around Matchbox geeks for several years now, so it is hard to gauge general interest in Matchbox.  I would be interested to know what collectors in general think about when they hear the word "Matchbox".  Among the Matchbox collectors, the word "realism" comes up a lot, and I wonder if that is the case with everyone.  To Matchbox collectors, "realism" not only applies to choice of vehicle, but actual execution of the casting and design.

I guess I probably fall into that camp a bit.  I gravitated to Matchbox as a kid, and later as a collector, because it brought the most realism to the world of $1 minicars.  The sports cars, the realistic utility vehicles, and in the last few years, classic cars.  Maybe not the muscle that we associate with Hot Wheels, but array of American land yachts, European cars, and many other classics.

And within those models, there are always a few that take me by surprise.  The announcement back in 2009 that we would see a 50's era GMC in the next year's lineup didn't generate much of a reaction from me.  Cars from the 50's don't do much for me, and neither do most pickups (although my affinity for pickups is growing).

But it took upwards of 2.7 seconds for me to fall in love with the casting once I had it in hand.  Sometimes I am a little embarrassed when it takes a toy car to help me appreciate the real thing it represents, but that is the case here.  The 50's really is a golden age of pickup trucks, and this is surely a truck my father drove multiple times while working at my grandfather's GMC dealership in Ely, Nevada back in the day.  So while the '57 GMC is part of my vehicle heritage, how lame is it that I needed a toy version to help me appreciate it?

Well one way or the other, I am very glad Matchbox did this model, and frankly the casting has just not been used enough.  I hope they find some capacity to use it again...

In case you are wondering, there is no way for me to pick a favorite.  Maybe you can.  All of them are charming for all kinds of different reasons.  I like having them all.

Matchbox Monday Model of the Day: 1957 GMC Stepside Pickup in black...

Another model that is an exception to what I normally collect.  When you go through my collection, you see Astons, Ferraris, some muscle, a whole lot of current and classic Japanese, some great 70's cars like the Gran Torino Sport and the Olds Vista Cruiser, and a slew of supercars and sports cars.  Of course there are exceptions, the 57 GMC Pickup is one of them.

First, I am not a huge fan of pickups.  Current pickups especially do nothing for me.  I can see how nice they are, but just not my thing.  But I do have an unexplained soft spot for some older pickups, including old Datsuns and Toyotas (surprise, I know), as well as older American trucks.   I love seeing any pre-1980 pickup on the road, and I usually see them in my work travels around rural Utah.  There is a certain, illogical jealously I have for the guys driving those trucks.  They get to live in some of the most spectacular land anywhere, and they are not wearing a shirt and tie like I am.  They seem to be part of the landscape, and maybe that is why I have every version of the Chevy and GMC Stepsides that Matchbox has done.

Second, I have no connection to pre-1960's cars.  When I follow coverage of Concours d'Elegance, I stop and admire the setting, filter through the super old cars, and look for post-1960's stuff.  I will admit that my appreciation for their beauty is growing, but it will be awhile before I am in a blue blazer, white shoes, khakis, and one of those styrofoam hats that men in movies punch through when they are excited about something.

So I think my love of the Matchbox GMC stems from reason one, that old trucks represent some made up connection I have to rip off my tie and go run through Wild Utah for a very long period of time.

(Man, I told myself to write less.  I am bad at this.)  The black is awesome.  I like how plain it is.  I love the wheels with only the center hot-stamped.  It is what Matchbox is all about: a beautiful casting, taking a less is more approach, and picking a GMC over the more common Chevy version.  If you haven't collected this model, I would suggest you do.   There is not a bad one in the bunch.  Ok, I am done.
