Bone Shaker


Since forever those of us who collect Roco Minitanks, Trident, and Paul Heiser Models have hoped that Hot Wheels would do their vehicles in HO 1/87th scale. We got our wish.




This is a new car from Hot Wheels in HO 1/87th scale. It is obviously a hot rod from the 1950s to now. It is a typical Hot Wheels car, except that is is HO scale.






The cardboard package contains a plastic display box. The box is very sturdy and lifts off from the plastic base.






The car is mounted on the black plastic base and it comes right off without tools. There is a nice Hot Wheels logo and the nickname of the car, Bone Shaker.








This car would look great on any model layout in the US from about 1950 to now. It would also work well anyplace where American soldiers were allowed to have personal cars since that time. It is about three times the cost of a regular Hot Wheels, probably due to the expense of the packaging. They do at least one other car in this series and I hope they do about 2,000 more!
