Yes Folks! you heard it right, this hot wheels photo collection was shared by Mr. Bill LeVasseur himself, the actor, tv host, model and producer. Firstly, I thought he's just one of my +5,000 "Mafia Wars" (facebook game) friends and I wanted to gave him some ammunition (sort of bribe...lol) for the game since he agree for me to post his hot wheel collections not until I realized that he's not actually on my network and saw some of his photo gallery that I learned more about him. Thank you Mr. Bill for allowing me to post this images.

This is what I consider one of the milestone of this blog, I got to meet a Hollywood star and agree to post his son's collection of "Hotwheels."

Hot Wheels is a brand of die cast toy car, introduced by American toymaker Mattel in 1968. It was the primary competitor of Matchbox until 1996, when Mattel acquired rights to the Matchbox brand from Tyco.

Before Hot Wheels, the huge market for small car models was dominated by the British company Lesney with their Matchbox cars. Elliot Handler, co-founder of Mattel, decided to produce a line of die-cast toy cars for boys. Although his executives thought it was a bad idea, he was able to capture much of this market by introducing a number of revolutionary features, including low-friction wheels suitable for racing on a track, and styling in tune with the times of customized racing and show cars coming out of places like California.

There were sixteen castings released in 1968, eleven of them designed by Harry Bentley Bradley, with the first one produced being a dark blue Custom Camaro. Although Bradley was from the car industry, he had not designed the full-functioning versions of the real cars, except the Dodge Deora concept car, which had been built by Mike and Larry Alexander. Another of his notable designs was the Custom Fleetside, which was based on his own heavily-customized '64 El Camino. (Other info...It is more likely that Bradley's heavily customised hot rod was a 67 Chevrolet Pickup Truck...not the 64 ElCamino.)
