Description[]
The Buick Stocker is a design by Larry Wood that first debuted under a Roses Discount Store promotion in 1991. It depicts a slightly older model of Buick stock car that was used before the automotive manufacturer withdrew from entering NASCAR races in the same year. This casting was the second Hot Wheels stock car tooling after the NASCAR Stocker. This model was planned to have been released under the Mainline in 1991 with a "Bret Bodine #26 Quaker State" tampo livery as seen in early prototypes, but went unreleased due to unknown reasonings.
The Buick Stocker was featured in the Heroes on Hot Wheels television series driven by Desmond Dumont.
