#1075 GINGELL/RHINO – HUDSON HORNET '51, CHEVROLET BEL-AIR '57, FORD THUNDERBIRD '57, CHEVROLET CORVETTE '62 and CHEVROLET CAMARO IROC-Z '82 (Around 1994)

These set of cars came in a big lot of toys including also Transformers, Micro Machines and plastic figures. There were some die-cast models as well, most of them very crude Made in China. Among them, I was surprised to find these classic American cars from the 50s and the 60s, so I put them aside. Also the Camaro seemed to belong to the same series, so I also kept it. I learnt from Steven (from the Motorcade) that these cars are Rhino (or Gingell, see previous entry). 

It is quite uncommon to find in these sets from the early 90s other than sport cars and utility vehicles, and cars like the Hudson Hornet are also rare in 1:64 scale, so that makes a nice addition to my collection.

The colours are basic, but the tampogaphies are very elaborated. They include funny words such as Fire-Wheel, Turboline, T.Fashion or High Sport, but this is also part of their charm.
