Although Bradley came from the car industry GM, he only designed one of the full sized vehicles his Hot Wheels were created from: The famous Deora concept, which had been built by Mike and Larry Alexander. “I don’t think many people knew the Deora was a real vehicle”, Harry mused. I’m a personal fan of the Hot Heap, created from Don Tognotti’s real-life show car, the King-T, which took AMBR in 1964.

The Car Room TV

Collectors now have an additional online resource for die-cast model information with the launch of the all new Car Room Magazine website. The site’s initial set of features offer information by scale and brand, a photo gallery, die-cast oriented videos and the ability to subscribe to the print version of magazine.
The site has launched with content that can be found in previous issues of the print magazine. Moving forward, collectors can expect to see a great deal of new information that goes beyond the printed page. In addition, a good deal of exciting new functionality is already in the works, and will be rolled out during the first half of the year.
This new site along with some “yet to be announced” surprises are just a part of what is looking to be a banner year for The Car Room Magazine.
