Greetings

Walmart have released a Hot wheels series of "Cruisin America" including a nice 1957 Hardtop. I drove past a Walmart in England on my UK vacation, unfortunately the similarity ceased as soon as you got beyond the name and the Logo and they had no more Toy selection than my local Food Market.

Code 2 Authorized, licensed, and produced by MATCHBOX, 2002. 150 produced.
