Hot Wheels - 1967 Chevy Camaro
This one is kinda' hard to find. It is from the Car Wash playset, released almost 20 years ago in 1998. This was the only way to obtain this variation of the Camaro.
Hot Wheels has been calling this casting a 67 Camaro since they released it in late 1967. However, true Camaro people know this is a mistake. 67 Camaro's can be identified by the small vent windows in the doors. They were removed and replaced with a single door window for 1968. So this casting is actually a 1968 Camaro. I've owned a few '67-'69 real Camaros :)
Quote from Hot Wheels Guide Website:
"One of the top 5 most popular Hot Wheels castings (2nd only to the Volkswagen Drag Bus), the '67 Camaro was first released in 1983 based on the original Custom Camaro from 1968. The original casting was designed by Harry Bradley. Larry Wood designed the 1983 retool."
Thanks Much for Looking!!
Johnny Lightning got it right with their version of the 1967 Camaro.
