Born to Be Wild Tournament

Stroller Tuesday, 7/2/2013

Here is another whacky idea from the old guy..... How about a race where everyone enters a car made on the year they were born. I was born in 47' when dinosaurs still walked the earth. Not sure if anyone makes a 1947 car of any kind. Research, Research .

'47 chevy fleetline,
or you could stick a trimmed "la'troca" grill into a widened "fat fendered '40" grill opening...= '47 ford

Would The Type Of Casting Have To Be That Years Model Or Is It A Car Hot Wheels Produced That Year?

This is not my tournament but I would think the casting would have to be the correct year.

Another thought is you can run a car of the year you was born or of the next year since they bring out new cars at least 6 months before the start of their year.......
