The California edition cars are so beautiful, the colors reminds me of 6 flags, raging waters and Santa Monica.

You are a true historian. I find the time period of these cars to be the years I know least about-so I always learn something from you.

oh man, your video was like a time machine. That was my childhood. As a child, we went to the next city once a week, to get groceries and stuff, and I always made my mom buy me a Hotwheels. The California Customs were the coolest looking once - I think they still are - I am in love with those cars. I think since then I am just stuck with Hotwheels, real cars and California:) A few years ago I had a little car parts business and my friend designed me some stickers after the design they used on those buttons, which are included with the normal CCs. btw can you tell me, why there are some california customs which appeard in the mainlines? They do say California Customs on the windshields, but I am sure they were mainline cars. again a great video, I just watched the latest one you released and thought I watch this one again.

Great video as usual, I have a few of those Cal Customs myself, I just bought 8 of them for £10 including the '67 Camaro! If you look @5:16 is that an error in the A pillar on the Porsche? It looks like the pillar has a wee break in it, like all the metal didn't fill the die.

@reeceracing1239 жыл бұрын
Great vid. Each colour variation of the Super Cal Customs has an individual name, for example the pickup truck in pink is the Big Sur-Prize while in orange it's called the Bod-Acious. Regarding a comment of a previous video about the CAT Steam Roller from the matchbox Dirt Machines 2PK, I just found out that mine is from a hotwheels set (forgotten the name, sorry) that comes with a spare roller and mouldable 'clean' dirt. It's in a book I have. Also have you heard of the 1995 Hot Wheels Top Speed cars? I have three myself and were a mystery to me for 10+ years, as they don't have anything on the base, I just found our that they're called Top Speed, and information on this series is hard to find, do you know anything about them?

Wondering if you could help me. I'm looking for a California customs car as a gift for my husband. From what he remembers it looks an awfully lot like the Camaro or "blown camaro" as you called it, but he said he remembers that the top of the car would lift up. If that makes any sense. It wasn't a fixed body. If you could maybe point me in the right direction that would be very helpful!
@wtffor8 жыл бұрын
+Brakkett There was a Funny Car in the California customs series, only one, with an opening top. It was white with blue and bright pink decorations on the sides, only thing was it was a 70's Corvette. I don't know of any Blown Camaro's or Camaro's of that body style released by Hot Wheels featuring an opening top.
