(we are on tight budget)

Is it just me, or does that front bumper not look right?
I got a 68 standard hot wheels yesterday.
Package says 69, but it sure looks like a 70 to me. Unless the picture on the package is wrongā¦ 
correct, the model has a 69 front end. sad thing is bumper, grille and lower valance is all chrome (same on rear)
Thatās a thoughtful gift your wife gave you. I received the American Icons - Muscle Cars coffee table book. It has a Mercury section featuring 1968 standard, XR7G, 1969 Eliminators and the Boss 429 Cougar. So thatās my Cougar gift.

Not sure the mirrors are correct either
model has no mirrors lol, plus you should see the angle of rear spoiler front edge of spoiler is almost touching decklid 
It is a Hot Wheels mainline. At most it was $1 and its only 3" long, so its not going to be exactly detailed. Some of the proportions do make you laugh sometimes though. Their latest 68 casting is really off, but they were going for more of a āstreet fighterā / road racer vibe. I havenāt been able to bring myself to buy that one. Iāve got the 69 Eliminator in a couple colors and a bunch of the 68s. Hot Wheels are the only way I can afford all the cars Iād like to have, so Iāve got a few. There are some with better detail but they are āpremiumā brands (M2, Auto World, Johnny Lightning, and Hot Wheels special editions) and cost about $5-$7. At a buck a piece, though, you canāt go wrong (or expect too much). 
This is part of my collection.
Ah, boys and their toys. I love it, guys!
You are doubly blessed if you have a wife/gf who gets it.
You had me going! I thought we might have a repeat of the gift seen hereā¦
That wife is a keeper!! She should have put a big red bow on top and when she recorded her husbands surprised look, it would look like a Lexus commercial but from the 60ās!
My daughter bought my grandson and me a 70 Eliminator for Christmas!
Look this up.
