4/24/20 More Cars, Cars, Cars 5-pack



As a more subliminal naming convention, this 5-pack with cars said three times is a mixture of American and European vehicles, old and new, and also sports a clean design like the Euro Sports 5-pack.  The charmer of the group is the 1962 VW beetle in red with detailed headlights, black sunroof, and even the trim on the hood and sides.  This is the best regular release of the casting at this point.  Another amazing classic is the 1968 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet 429 in light blue with black hood stripe, side stripes, chrome front grille, and detailed rear cove decklid with tri-taillights.  It’s a fantastic Mustang casting that debut in 1997 alongside a 1970 Boss Mustang and is nicely done with the exception of the front rivet creating a flat spot at the front of the base.  In addition to the black base the interior is also black, yet this is black paint over the chrome and not molded black plastic!  The Dodge Viper GTS returns in simple black with front and rear lighting details just like the 1-100 version, though it looks less impressive in black (though on a bonus upswing it looks better than the 2005 release in the same black where that version sported flower pedal wheels and the working suspension was fixed creating a high riding stance.)  The Ferrari F50 coupe also comes back with a striking yellow paint job and the only vehicle in the set with no lighting details with the exception of Ferrari and the prancing horse logo on the sides of the vehicle.  The final vehicle of the set is the 1999 Ford Mustang GT, again, as a convertible in blue with lower Mustang stripes in white on the sides and the prancing horse logo in blue on top of the tonneau cover.
