Pink Chip Stamps

1972 Lotus Europa Special used by Pinky Pinkston, heiress to the Pink Chip Stamps fortune.
Delivery vans parked at the loading dock.

Pink Chip Stamps given as loyalty rewards program at many retail shops.
The rest of the fleet.
The vans are unmarked due to the value of their cargoes.
The stamps are printed and warehoused here before shipping to retail customers.

Pinky Pinkston Mobile

My latest Hot Wheels acquisition.
It's the Kei Swap.
A Kei van is a small street legal van used in Japan.
This particular version is modified to use in drifting.
I was attracted by the pink color and the bold graphics.
So I intend to use it as a vehicle for the Pink Chip Stamp Factory.
They can use it to deliver the stamps to the stores and gas stations that give the stamps away as premiums to their customers.
The underside of a stamp van.
The vans don't have to be large because the stamps are small.
These vans have become a peg warmer at many store and even months after I got my first one they seem to be common.  They also come in two other colors but this is the only version I have seen.
The fleet of vans parked outside the Pink Chip Stamps factory and warehouse, along with Pinky Pinkstons person car.

Color Change Car

This car is designed to change color depending on the temperature.  Pouring cold or hot water on them changes the color.
The legal stuff.
This car is in good shape, the white along the side is glare.
This is a very space age vehicle.
It has a nice bubble top.
More glare on the side.
Lots of headlights.
Rare chrome undercarriage.
Good view of that bubble top.
This car has been done in a bunch of colors, I love the red. Very Christmas.

Batmobiles in Three Colors

The red Batmobile is pretty good from the top.
The bottom is plastic.
Here is Robin and Batman with the more traditional black Batmobile.
Now with the red car, they look good with it.
Here they have four of them.
I think Batman actually has a host of the same car in stock so that if one if damaged, stolen, being serviced, or otherwise not available they can deploy one of the other ones.
Black and Red and Batman and Robin
This blue Batmobile has also been in shops recently.
