Introducing The Larry’s Garage™ 21-Car Collection!

It’s A Must-Have Set From Toys ‘R’ Us

by HWC Gary

08-21-09





It’s already one of the most popular Hot Wheels® series in years -- and it’s no surprise. Created under the direction of legendary Hot Wheels® designer Larry Wood, the Larry’s Garage™ series captured the attention -- and the hearts -- of collectors right out of the starting gate. Kicking it up a notch further, this Toys ‘R’ Us Larry’s Garage™ 21-Car Collection includes an exclusive car not released individually as part of the series!









Packaged in a stylish and sturdy black case, the set features an exclusive deco version of each of the 20 cars in the Larry’s Garage™ series. It also features the exclusive 21st car -- the Pass’n Gasser™ -- in the distinct Larry’s Garage packaging, front and center in the set. It features Real Riders® wheels on the rear (first time on this casting!). The cars feature Real Riders® wheels. The back of the set includes comments from Larry on why he felt these cars belonged in Larry’s Garage™.

In addition to the Pass’n Gasser™, here are the cars in the set:

    ’32 Ford Sedan Delivery (Larry says: “…the best styling of all the Fords.”)
    ’33 Ford Roadster (Larry says: “…called a Hi-Boy because it doesn’t have any fenders.”)
    ’56 Chevy® (Larry says: “…they always look good modified.”)
    ’57 Chevy® Bel Air™ (Larry says: “…first year for fins… memorable…”)
    ’63 Corvette® (Larry says: “I owned a ’63 Corvette®…”)
    ’67 Pontiac® GTO® (Larry says: “…the beginning of muscle cars… the best of them all.”)
    ’68 Mercury Cougar (Larry says: “…it was really ‘hi-tech.’”)
    ’69 Camaro® (Larry says: “…always popular… one of the best.”)
    ’69 Ford Mustang (Larry says: “…a classic muscle car.”)
    ’70 Mercury Cyclone (Larry says: “…a terror on the street and strip.”)
    3-Window ’34 Ford (Larry says: “…the best look for a hot rod.”)
    Bone Shaker® (Larry says: “I had a crazy idea of using a skull on a grille…”)
    Classic Packard (Larry says: “…the best of the ’30s cars.”)
    Dairy Delivery® (Larry says: “…one of my favorites… even though I didn’t design it.”)
    Metrorail® Nash Metropolitan (Larry says: “I had a Rambler station wagon with this paint job.”)
    Purple Passion® (Larry says: “…the first car I ever did for the Collector line.”)
    Shift Kicker® (Larry says: “…a tribute to cartoonist Ed Roth.”)
    So Fine® (Larry says: “…a classic ’50s car… an all-time favorite.”)
    T-Bucket (Larry says: “…minimum body and maximum engine.”)
    Wild Thing® (Larry says: “…most suited to run at Bonneville.”)
