Yesterday I managed to find a few Hot Wheels from the Vintage Racing line. Back in May, I wrote a post on this particular HW series. It was released in 2011, 30 cars in total, and I got my grubby hands on 6 of them.

The Ford Drag Team was Ford’s factory drag racing team in 1969 and 1970 and Ed terry was one of the team's captains. In the link below you can see him racing a '69 Mustang (at 0:56).

| 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 |
As for this Ford Galaxie, it's got a driver's name on it, "Mark Morse", but I have no idea who that might be. This car looks like one of those 60's NASCAR racer.
