We can at least appreciate the evolution of the blister-card art in recent years, and this item will also ship out in a Kar Keepers clamshell case for extra added protection. If you don't mind the Neo-Classics Redline wheels, you might love the fact the opening tonneau cover that matches the roof. While the casting has been retooled by Brendon Vetuskey in 2003, it does look quite similar to the original Sweet Sixteen version. We've seen 35 vehicles in this collection so far, and the Custom Fleetside is going to be the 36th one on the list. Starting in 2005, Hot Wheels has released two RLC-exclusive Spectraflame Pink models each year. But if you'll ask most of the younger collectors, this design isn't at all appealing to them. But they all had the same Redline wheels, which are now considered to be a classic feature. The Custom Fleetside had 12 different versions for 1968, each with a different Spectraflame paint job. Because the designer of the original casting was Harry Bradley, and at the time, he was driving a tricked-out version of a 1964 El Camino. Looking at the Custom Fleetside, you might be able to tell that it's based on a Chevy El Camino and you'd be right. They also call these "The Original 16", and some of these can be quite expensive and difficult to get by these days. The Custom Fleetside was first introduced in 1968, as part of the Sweet Sixteen line-up of diecast cars. If the name doesn't ring a bell, you're either too young or you haven't been in the game for too long.
On October 11, 2022, Mattel will be offering Red Line Club members the chance to purchase a new variant of the Custom Fleetside casting.
