Hi all,
Anyone know if you can still get those little green '51 Hudson Hornet matchbox cars from Wal Mart?

If it is the same one I'm thinking of, it was made by Racing Champions. I never found one in the stores...and it is no longer made. Occasionally one pops up on ebay (about $12 including shipping seems to be what they go for).0

I found a couple of those red Hornet coupes at a local weekly flea market. Bought one, put it together. Went back a couple weeks later the guy had some more. Decided to buy another to NOT put together. Figure since the logo on the box said '51 Chrysler Hornet it might be worth something as a collectors item some day. Daimler-Chrysler moving in. Most likely in a few years Daimler will be claiming the Hudson Hornets that raced in the '50's were actually Chrysler built. LOL
This little coupe I bought is from the American Muscle BodyShop collection - says Rydell High 1959 and Grease on the box. Has a picture of the race in the Los Angles culvert from the movie.

Aaron, check at the nearest hobby shop to see if they handle Classic Metal Works products. They had a 51 coupe in HO scale, also have N scale, 2 to a pack.
About $12 for the HO scale and $8-10 for the N scale. here was a rumor about a 1/43 scale but I emailed the factory and that project had been scrapped.
