Stopped at a Toys R Us on way home this morning and was surprised to see new AMC Pacer Hot Wheels, actually a reissue of 1977
"Packin Pacer". The new blister pack is called "The Hot Ones" and this reincarnation of the Pacer wagon with huge engine in back is
white, with large Hurst SC/Rambler type arrow on hood with 427 on either side don't know what that is all about, but same chrome
exhausts out back window. Chrome interior also. These are heavier that average Hot Wheel car if weighted in grams and made in
Thailand. Yellow glass too. Also pricier that average Hot Wheel at $1.49. So I bought all 3 of them. And while diggin thru Hot
Wheels found a 59 Chevy Delivery panel wagon which is a Treasure Hunt Hot Wheels for those of you who collect those HW Treasure
Hunts & Johnny Lightning White Lightnings.
If you want to see what the "new" Pacer looks like, go to www.ebay.com and do simple search for 'Packin Pacer' and it
is littered
with them, even a number of original 1977-78 ones. There are a mess of the chevy panal wagons too search for '59 chevy delivery'
and they pop up, great paint scheme I may add.
