Hot Wheels Crackups
Hot Wheels Crack ups ran for a little more than a year in the USA. USA models were also distributed in Europe, but there were also some France made versions that had slightly different tampos, but no different castings. Until very recently, not many folks paid a premium for the French made cars, with prices about the same as regular Crackups, but lately there has been some rising prices, especially for packaged versions. The french tampo versions also were produced in Mexico by Aurimat, also very tough to come by.
This is a small group of castings and paint schemes, so with some hard work you can get them all! Below you see all the US versions except the white formula car. Included is one French version, the second green Datsun 280Z-looking car with the dark tampos in the center.
These cars did not have names on the base, the only way to know the name was from the packaging.
As soon as we can, we will post pictures of carded examples, three packs, and sets that are in the hoard but packed away!
