Hot Wheels Gleam Team T-Bird | eBay

I remember having a few of the Gleam Team Hot Wheels. Stumbled on the pic trying to find a Hot Wheels play set I saw at a yard sale.

Sorry guys but it started in the early 70s. I got one of these on my 1972 trans am.

I guess everyone with a Superfractor is part of the Gleam Team of collectors.

The odd thing is every single thing they do with cards...my dad, although he has been retired from printing for about 7 years, can tell me exactly how they would have made the card. And that's coming from a guy that never printed anything like that in all his years as a printer. That's kinda cool though. Hey...how did they make this or that? Pretty nice to have someone who would know.

It's one of those cars that I knew about, but haven't thought of since I started collecting cards.

I probably inherited it from my sister, as it came out a few years before I was born.

Actually, Pontiac used the same material in the Trans Am of the late 70's!

I'll see your 70s car parts and raise you a landmark aircraft.

I always thought of the Jimmy Stewart movie Spirit of St Louis when I see supers. When they're fabricating the plane, there's a brief shot of a guy with the sheet metal on a drill press, and the guy has a spinning brush bit polishing out the little circles. These overlap more than supers, but same idea.

And to think I always thought they came from this:
