Loyd's BONUS video-clip!!--- # 36!!--- Over 50 years old, and STILL the world's COOLEST car company!

 52 years old, in fact! It's kind of hard for 'gray-whiskers'-types like me to imagine---but Hot Wheels have been around for OVER half-a-century! Guess it's not TOO hard, since I was around at the time they originally came on the scene!--- 4 years old, in fact! A wee-bit younger than the boys in these (VERY nifty-neat-o) ads!

So, I have NO memory whatsoever of these vintage commercials! I'm pretty sure I probably saw them though, since they NO DOUBT were ran on Saturday mornings--- back when the 'big three' networks had nearly 4 HOURS of cartoons going, that kept kiddos like the 'lil Loydster, glued-to-the-tube for a good CHUNK of  the day!----


Considering how much of an over-grown, shamelessly GEEK-A-ZOID kid I am, it should come as NO surprise to anyone, who checks out this little blog-a-thing-a-ring-ding on a regular basis--- that I STILL have a fair-sized collection of Hot Wheels!

In fact, I still have some of the original, vintage 'red-line' cars (the ones with the red pin-stripes on the tires), that I first snagged as a youngster! Of course, most of them aren't in the 'prime / pristine / collectible' category (they were my childhood TOYS, after all--- so I PLAYED with them!)--- but to me, they'll ALWAYS be PRICELESS!  I hope this is one 'car company', that stays around at LEAST another 100 years!
