Stick’s Redline Garage: The Classic Cord
The Classic Cord was one Redline that eluded me for over 10 years of collecting. Up until recently, the Cord and the Olds 442 were the only 2 cars I didn’t have in my collection. Fortunately, that changed this past March when fellow collector Scott Jones offered me a fine Magenta piece from his personal [...]
Stick’s Redline Garage: The Club Cars
In 1970, Mattel introduced the Hot Wheels Club in advertisements on the back of blisterpacks and catalogs, (shown below on the back of a 1970 Canadian blister pack).

One of the first castings to debut in the Grand Prix series of Redlines was the Brabham Repco F1. It was based on the 1966 World Championship winning racer designed by John Cooper, built by Geoff Brabham and driven by Jack Brabham. The original car used an all aluminum Oldsmobile V8 powerplant and was tuned [...]
Stick’s Redline Garage: The ‘57 T-Bird
The Classic 57 T-Bird had a body built for speed, and it’s factory styling was ahead of its time. It’s 2-seat roadster style made it an instant Hot Rod sensation as well as a customizer’s dream. The racers loved the “little birds” as well. They could pull out the factory small block V-8 and install [...]
