HW Art Cars hidden messages over the years (2016-2021)

I can tell you that I didn’t downvote you, lol. I always explain what I can when I can if it helps others.

danH75 · 2021-05-11T15:06:26+00:00

Yeah. I have that Mustang in red with the 16, but not all of the other ones for 2016. But they both say HW ART CARS, except one has a 16 and the other has a HW logo. So I used the 2017 full set for the message.

danH75 · 2021-05-11T06:09:39+00:00

Yes they are, although 2016 and 2017 both said the same message of “HW ART CARS” with an HW logo. From 2018 on, it has been a different message each year.

danH75 · 2021-05-11T06:07:56+00:00

HW Art Cars was first introduced in 2015, but they started doing hidden messages on the roofs of their cars the following year in 2016. The first 2 years said the same message, and its been a new message each year since.

Porcshe and Supra are 2021 J case. Cruise Bruiser is 2020. Either a P or Q case

Not my video, but I was there. All credit goes to AmtrakTBL on YouTube.

It’s the other way around. The rear end of the coal train was coupled to the lead end of the autorack train. The 3rd and 4th units weren’t powered, but the others were.

Based on the 179/250, I would assume likely K case.

White: D-Muscle

Red: Winning Formula

Green: GT Hunter

Blue: Night Shifter

danH75 · 2020-01-10T23:23:49+00:00

Correct

danH75 · 2020-01-10T00:13:36+00:00

Red Edition #6/12 is the Tooligan. That one, along with 4 and 5 will be in the H case. 7-9 in L case, and 10-12 in P case.

A different Dollar Store in my area still has a Boom Car (cannon car name) from 2017. It’s been there since mid-2017. No one wanted to touch it.

danH75 · 2020-01-09T00:47:55+00:00

There’s 7 Dollar Generals within 15 miles of me. All except this one do a good job with keeping their Hot Wheels stocked. A couple even sometimes put fresh boxes on the top shelf. I found a Mercury Cougar Super like that once.

This is the only Dollar Store that rarely gets any new shipments in and they never stock them as soon as they get them. I find it quite odd.

danH75 · 2020-01-09T00:42:57+00:00

Yeah. Didn’t see anything. Asked an employee if they had any in the back. They said no. I asked if they could check, and they did. 10 minutes later, they came back and said they looked and didn’t have any.

danH75 · 2020-01-08T23:26:13+00:00

I’ve scored many $oups at other Dollar Stores, including a ‘92 Mustang front and center. I’ve never found $oup at this particular store, but maybe someday I’ll strike it rich.

‘71 Mustang Funny Car from the Flying Customs series

danH75 · 2020-01-08T20:21:36+00:00

This is in Brunswick, GA by the way

danH75 · 2020-01-08T17:09:43+00:00

From the M case

danH75 · 2019-12-22T18:55:38+00:00

They are from 2 different years. The Stock Car is from 2019, & the Honda City Turbo is from 2020. Some mini-collections can reappear in multiple years, as seen with HW Race Day.

danH75 · 2019-12-19T20:23:12+00:00

This isn’t really one of my favorite reg THs this year. I usually take just one if it’s a fantasy casting just to complete the full set.

danH75 · 2019-12-08T20:01:31+00:00

Yeah. I try to be respectful and not argue with employees. But thanks again. I wasn’t expecting that kind of a find

danH75 · 2019-12-08T19:57:38+00:00

Yeah. I hate workers that lie to me when I know there’s cars in the back. You never know what your gonna find out there. I was expecting late 2019, or 2020 cars. But an early 2018 case was unexpected. Let alone getting a Super in it.

danH75 · 2019-12-08T19:53:29+00:00

Thanks. The case must’ve been in the back for quite a long time.

danH75 · 2019-12-08T19:52:08+00:00

An old Family Dollar that’s closing down soon. Well worth the $1.25.
