Hot Wheels Custom Fleetside (1968)

The Custom Fleetside is the Sweet Sixteen's pickup, tied to designer Harry Bentley Bradley, and its tonneau cover pops open over the bed. That cover is where the factories differ: US castings have a notch to ease it open, Hong Kong ones a tab. Every Fleetside came with flat black paint simulating a vinyl roof. Early Hong Kong trucks have painted tails, and a few rare examples carry the black roof paint along the bed wall. US light blue is rare and US brown very rare, while blue and red are the scarce Hong Kong colors. As with any opening part, check the cover's hinge and fit on a car sold as original.
