Re: Match box C6 (tkbillg)
That's been out for awhile so I doubt that's the C6.....
....but seriously, back in 1968 (actually '67) - Hot Wheels released the '68 Corvette 6-months before the real one !
....GM almost 'sued' Mattel for that stunt, but since it was 'free' publicity they let it go.
How did this happen ? - Well, the designer for Mattel 'peeked' at the drawing board at GM and copied it - it was a guess - a darn good one !!!
So keep an eye out in the toy section ! :yesnod:

Re: Match box C6 (verskel)
i wonder if Gm engineers came up with a secret way of getting consumer interest! :lol: They have hidden cameras in the department stores trained on the Hotwheels display and they monitor to see how many people look interested in the Hotwheels display!? :lol: :jester :troll

Re: Match box C6 (SuperFast80)
As far as I know, that display on the hotwheels has been there for years....
On top of that, it looks very much like a Supra (with diff front end) rather than the concept drawings of the C6.

Re: Match box C6 (tkbillg)
Hot Wheels has a Camaro Concept car, released in 2000, called Muscle Tone. It was what they felt a new Camaro should look like. That is, if it wasn't KILLED by the General. The car looks great, like a modern first gen Camaro.
