6.Custom Ford Bronco

The Custom Ford Bronco is a Hot Wheels casting, debuting in the 2008 New Models, based on the 1966 - 1977 Ford Bronco.
The casting was a co-design between Hot Wheels Designers Mark Jones and John Violette. The original illustration for the casting was created by Mark Jones. Violette then took the design and turned it into the 3D form.
My model is the 2010 HW Racing model.







1.Design - 16 - no comment
2.Details - 18 - plastic chassis, no windows
3.Paint and tampo - 20
4.Rarity - 17 - not so rare
5.Extras - 10 - nothing
totally - 81%

4&5. '81 De Lorean DMC-12

The '81 DeLorean DMC-12 was based on the actual production model. A modified DeLorean appeared in the movie trilogy of "Back To The Future", starring Michael J. Fox, Christoper Lloyd and Crispin Glover. Italian designed and British engineered, this American dream car with gull-wing doors, rear engine and stainless steel body was a sports car unlike anything else on the roads in the 1980s - or today!
The original DeLorean car came only in bare stainless steel, which is represented by the first color introduced, the Metalflake Silver. In 1980, DeLorean Motor Company (in conjunction with American Express and their Gold Card Christmas Catalog) offered a gold-plated DeLorean for $85,000. Two were built and sold, and the second color Hot Wheels introduced, Brushed Metalflake Bronze, represents these cars. Painted DeLoreans were never produced by the factory, but individual owners and dealers painted cars from time to time. The third color Hot Wheel, Gloss Black, represents a popular color for painted DeLorean cars.
I have the first 2 colors: Metalflake Silver and Brushed Metalflake Bronze:

                2.Details - 20
                3.Paint and tampo - 20 - exactly like in reality
                4.Rarity - 19 - Is pretty rare, the silver one I saw only one time: when I bought it
                5.Extras - 20 - open the rear hood
Totally - 99%
