Vintage Hot Wheels Restoration : Police Cruisers

[@DiecastResurrection]

What did you guys think of the shorter format? It makes it easier for me to put out more videos if they aren't as long. I want to reduce the amount of fast forwarding people do as well. Let me know your thoughts below. Have good evening Fam!

[@SparkyNarwhal]

I like both formats! But this seemed to be the perfect length of time. Keep it up and keep the Jimmy skits commin'!

[@paulwoodman5131]

Uhh, what? Who fast forwards?

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

It seemed a bit too fast paced maybe. It was harder for me to get into it than the others. Or maybe I'm wrong!

[@octane613]

I'll watch whatever you put out my dude.

[@hyadarooko]

Hmm.. This length is a-ok by me if it means frequent videos. It's still very easy to follow what you're doing.

Super cool😊

Very nice classics from the early blackwall era. They look fantastic!

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

It's sad but these videos really are the highlight of my week - look forward to them always! I'll have to try my hand at a custom or restore at some point I think...

[@jerrybynum5702]

Oddly enough, there are three content providers I really look forward to ... DR is one of them. I even find myself talking about Jimmy ... my wife just looks at me like I'm crazy.

I always look forward to all these kinds of channels I would say my favourites are this channel, Marty, SidewaysKing and BaremetalHW. There are quite a few others I watch too.

[@AlbionVega]

Do it! I started three years ago and truly is a great way to spend the time.

[@jackhammer44]

The one thing i love about this channel is seeing all the diecast cars i use to have. I had cars by the hundreds.

Another amazing restoration, they look great all glossy, I sure hope Karen is recovering well

Outstanding as usual. Your artistry is a perfect blend to your great sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks Karl :D I enjoyed this one hehe

[@tonyneises5195]

Sweet pair of rides, B.E.A. utiful paint jobs. I have always loved that model year of Cutlass. I had a 78 but wanted my friends earlier model, his was completely original and in great shape.

[@DaliwolfBacon]

That was a very exciting opening sequence! Is Karen alive? Was Jimmy caught? Did Roscoe P. Coltrain and Flash get their doughnuts? One thing is for sure...the restoration was sweet! Plubplubplubplub!

[@novadiecastman5251]

Diecast resurrection, don't matter how long or short . I'll always keep watching.. officer Grady , why that's just awesome 😁👍

[@tangohunter5788]

I really like these police cars brother! I was 9 yrs. When Hot Wheels busted out, and here we are seeing you bring out the life of these toys! Thank you bro... This is so BOSS!

[@mr.sideburns2031]

I hit the like just for the tune in Tokyo joke. The cars came out really nice, simple paint by your standards but they don't need more than that. The joke about the bedazzled cops and looking for Jimmy was hysterical.

[@TemberGundam]

4:14 most important moment in diecast history. Short or long format, please dont skip the steps. It’s the process and the results that I like. Another great video.

[@archiebunker6059]

Those are the coolest cars you've done on your videos! One of my favorite castings.

I would be proud to have it in my collection.

Man I wish I could find this car.It would look really good with my other vintage Hot Wheels.

[@jbrown577]

Glad I found your channel. Keep keeping it real my friend.

[@michaelhargis7036]

I love your videos, they have a very therapeutic quality to them. One of the very few channels where I always watch the commercials, start to very end. Thanks for the hard work that you do.

[@k.n.o.3558]

Turned out really cool! Short videos are good for me. I often go for the shorter ones anyway.

[@joewells6252]

These are awesome! They look fantastic. Since you had two of them, I would have maybe liked to see one of them painted with a black trunk and hood just to see what it would look like.

[@julienthomy1183]

The old "Driver" music in the back ground during thre final touch up 😁 simply great

[@natr0n]

I was thinking pledge the lights a bit more and you did. You know the black trunk and hood would have looked awesome too.

[@MultiJohnnyangel]

GREAT to see you back! If you like Bud Light, you'll enjoy Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Tomarts hot wheels guide shows only white police cars with red and blue lights. I think I found a solution for wheels so you don't have to use brass tubes and glue. I was at Wal-mart today and found some 2mm crimp tubes. they may be the answer to securing the end when you use 2" head pins for the axle replacement.

[@DT99race]

The car with the metal base was one of the first Olds 442 police cruisers that came out after the original 1971 Spectraflame Olds 442. These are redlines and never had black trunks or hoods, that is someone's artwork, lol. They were all white enamel. What also gives this away as the first generation Olds 442 cruiser is the separate red cherry on top and the opening hood. Notice the glass also has a greenish tint. Many of these have been converted to clones of the Spectraflame original release. There were a couple different metal bases on the first generation olds police cruisers, and the early ones had stickers on the doors before they transitioned to tampos. Later releases had plastic bases and blackwalls, just like the ones driven by officer Grady! 😆

[@adambeckett8394]

I might be totally wrong, but I had a look at the online redline guide, and it shows it under 1969 as a Police Cruiser. It was apparently used again in 1970 as the Fire Chief's car. It seems to have had a few paint scheme variations, some of which look like they might be quite rare.

[@DT99race]

@@adambeckett8394 The 1969 police cruiser was based on the Plymouth Fury, not the Olds 442. The version I'm referring to was the Olds 442 police cruiser, which came out after the original Spectraflame Olds 442 casting released in 1971, not 1970 (my bad, was going off memory, lol). I've corrected my original post, thanks!

[@smilesfourmiles2714]

Very clean very well done glad you didn’t go for the disco balls🤣

[@stem50]

As Always , a Great Job there .

[@davebeat]

New time format was good. I didn't feel like it lost anything from being a bit shorter. It was still as satisfying and entertaining as usual.

[@unklejohn8575]

If you do the 1969 cast (with the red light), or the red fire chief version, you should make it a Mounty highway patrol car.

[@iHaveTheIQofaTurnip]

just started watching you a couple months ago, I find this entertaining and the commentary makes it even better, keep it up

[@willgraves5536]

Lol!!! Keep me rollin!

[@hestheMaster]

Two perfect examples of the last version of the 442 police cruiser. Excellent decal repros! BTW they never had black trunks or hoods. They were painted black enamel paint by a previous owner. Original version had a red gumball light and the sides were a sticker that had a badge and the word police on it. These cars looks way better now! Can't wait until you get a scale donut shop to park in front of. This IS a great format. Didn't like watching the paint drying part of your older vids,ha,ha.

[@andrewdobosz3682]

It would be cool to see some licence plates on the rear bumper . very nice job

[@DiecastResurrection]

I can make that happen!

[@tonybecker7259]

I second the license plate idea. You have quite a few one liners that u can make into license plates that only us die hard fans would understand

This one brought back some memories when I had this car incredible restore on both. And my feelings on the black and white is someone painted the black on it probably a kid like me that paid attention to detail and wanted it looking sweet.

[@ghost-facedhindu4275]

"Mother of God..." Great quote from Super Troopers!

Half of me comes for the restoration. The other half comes for the dialogue. It would have been cool to customize one of those like your mystery paint job. Since you had two and all...

Wowee am I late to the party lol. I am I the only one that enjoys the paint stripping segments, they are so satisfying. Also I love when you do the fine details such as the tail lights and fixing up the chrome finish. That really makes the car look really polished.

[@StevenSmyth]

I like this because there is precedent. The California Highway Patrol had the 1967 Olds B07 Apprehender for one year. Now, the B07 is not the 442, but it’s a slick ride. This was shweet per usual, I hope you do one with CHiPpy decals. That would be awesome.

After some research, the redline police Cruiser was released in 1973 and all white just like the ones you restored. Excellent restorations 👍🔥👍

[@DiecastResurrection]

Thanks Norm! The red light police cruisers are rare and can fetch up to $400 if in mint original condition. We determined the black paint was just added by someone with a steady hand.
