New Hot Wheels on the way – ’86 Monte Carlo SS

In case any of you missed the secret announcement on Facebook, check this out:

This was posted to the Facebook wall for the Hot Wheels fan page with the caption “Hey, Designer – Can you move a little to the right? You’re blocking my view of this unreleased 2010 New Model.”

Over the next twenty four hours, 142 people threw in guesses ranging from El Camino with a custom grille to a 4th-generation Camaro.  Finally, it was revealed that Mattel will finally be releasing an ’86 Chevy Monte Carlo SS in what’s believed to be the “mainline” series (aka, the ones you buy for a buck at Wal-Mart.)

This is great news for fans of the classic 2-door.  According to a quick Google search, the only miniature ’86 SS’s available right now are part of the “Donk” series from Revell.  Yeah, those things.  At long last, owners will be a great piece of dashboard candy for car shows, cruise nights, and anywhere else you want to torture parents and children simultaneously (“Daddy, I wanna play with those cars nnnoooowwwww!)  After all, we can’t let the PT Cruiser folks have all the fun.
