Johnny Lightning White Lightning


As Hot Wheels has it's Treasure Hunts, Johnny Lightning has it's own chase cars called White Lightnings.  There are usually 2 different traits on a White Lightning that differentiates it from a regular car.  In the above picture, the Mustang has both white rims and wheels. Sometimes it might be a white body colour, white exterior, white chassis, white engine, white interior.  New variations have surfaced in releases where the body colour could be gold or orange.  I'm particularly fond of the white, gold and orange body White Lightnings or WLs for short.

Here's a sampling of cars from the Johnny Lightning Gold series.  Extra detailing is evident by the painted undercarriage.  Pictured here from top to bottom:  66 Mustang Hardtop, 70 Mustang, 65 GTO, and the 65 Catalina.

Matchbox Chevy Tahoe



I had this 1999 Matchbox Chevy Tahoe buried away and remembered at the time these were pretty hard to find.  Don't know if this is still considered rare or not.  Apparently, the Tahoe was rare in the US but it could be found in Canada.

Hot Wheels Final Run Kenworth





Here's the 1999 Final Run Kenworth.  I like how the wheels have final run on them.

Johnny Lightning 1966 Dodge Charger












A lot of the Johnny Lightnings come with bonus items, such as stickers, cards, and other goodies.  Here's the 66 Dodge Charger from the Classic Plastic release that features a replica of the model kit box that the car is based upon.  This model has an opening hood and rubber tires and has excellent proportions.
