About this deal

I like this deco, but about now is where the Gassers go in one of two directions: Super classy or Super sloppy. Or both. You’ll see what I mean. This one is such in the middle. This is everything cool about the Gasser loaded into one model. The bright gold reminds me of the Candy Striper’s standout pink, the deco says racing like a Gasser should, Mooneyes, some of the fonts look handpainted, and it is the best 50th Anniversary Model Mattel made. Part classy, part raw gasser, totally significant. It’d be Top 3 if is wasn’t for the incredible good looks of… Another premium down. Great name, not-so-great deco. Make it sloppy or go all in on classy. This doesn’t work. You bought your 20, you kept your receipt, you were of course going to mail-in for a Gasser. Mattel must of known you’d get the Gasser no matter what. They saved the good decos for other releases.

That’s the list. All 33 releases ranked. I want to know what you think. I want you to tell me how wrong you think I am, even though you are wrong. Awesome cars start with epic ideas! Built to launch the next 50 years of amazing Hot Wheels cars, HW50 Concept is the 1:64 scale research and development vehicle used to create the mind-blowing full-size HW50 ultra-modern hot rod! Dark & Light Blue Stripes on Sides, Yellow Stripes on Hood, Blue & White 'Goobers' with Red Nestle Logo on sides. One of the most sought-after Gassers now, and the cleanest of the Gasser-appropriate decos. A Top 5 Super too. It was going to be in the Top 10, we just now know where.

HW Logo 'Fifty' & X on front, 'HOTWHEELS' & circle 50 on top. 'HOT' on sides with white pin striping top & sides. Similar to #32 above. I like the #55, but the colors are a little bland, and number 55 spitting flames has always given me the heebie-jeebies because it looks like intestines in a Dr Suess book blowing flames. Combined the outstanding performance of the Camaro SS with the sizzling design of Hot Wheels and race to the roar of a 455 horsepower V8 engine, leaving a cloud of smoke for those in your wake. Massive aluminum wheels, an epic rear spoiler and mind blowing performance mean you’ll crush the competition—and look good doing it.

We will be visiting this deco two more times on this list. The deco is rad. The color is rad. This release has been shown up badly by two others further down the list.Basically, this list is what I would keep if I could only have 10 Gassers. Or 5. Or 1. This is the rank. This one is what we can call a postponed release. The distribution started with the Miami Legends event, but then Covid happened, the Legends Tour was cancelled for 2020, and this model sits in limbo. Whether or not Hot Wheels will hold onto it for whenever the Tour starts up again, or if they will repurpose it in another way remains to be seen. But there are a few out there now, and more are coming, whenever that will be.

Ok I think I bit off more than I can chew. Only at number 24 and I feel like I am supposed to put up Gassers I don’t like. I like this one a ton, but it is the second of three colors of the debut release and definitely the most forgettable. Still, the handpainted style of the graphics is spot on. They just look better on the other two.

Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary: Mainan Mobil Klasik yang Tak Pernah Mati

My guess is many of you think this is too high. Are those windows odd? Yep. Is the color combo disturbing? You bet. Is it ugly? Beautifully ugly. It makes no sense as a car, it makes perfect sense as a gasser. I could put it higher but there are better versions. The wrongness of this one makes me happy for all the right reasons. On the 11th of December 2018, Hot Wheels also released the '50 th Anniversary Master Set' which included all the 50 th Anniversary 'collections' in one large case. This set was exclusive to HotWheelsCollectors.com and was limited to 1,250 pieces. Hmmm, maybe I should just clear coat this and call it a day. It worked for my Firebird 😂😂 #bvgasser #gasser #1955 #1955chevy #chevy #chevrolet #hotrod #clearcoat #baremetal #strip #painting #paint #bodywork #whatcolorwillbrendonpainthisgasser #disturbingtheneighbors Wheels win on this one. Color is great, TRI-ME is a cool theme, deco looks sloppy enough, but the wheels win.

If I could only keep three Gassers, and value had nothing to do with it, this is not one I would take. If I could keep five? Yeah this is one for sure. The first and only tie. I said these next few models go classy or sloppy (good sloppy). These are WAY classy, and in spectra flame with classic ’55 Chevy trim these don’t look like any other ’55 Gassers. Not much different between the two, so let’s put them together. Of course, there is a third, coming soon. According to a History Channel video and 2018 card description, the HW50 Concept toy is a reference point to making a full-scale version in collaboration with Bisimoto using Dodge Viper underpinnings. It was slated to be shown at SEMA 2018; the model was never completed and all references pointing to this vehicle removed.The flames will always work, but this one is also bland, and following the New Model, Super TH, and Candy Striper, this one was totally forgettable.
