Description
The GMC Motorhome is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Bob Rosas and Larry Wood. Rosas contacted GMC and asked for permission to design the Motorhome, with GMC asking for about 30 of the finished Motorhomes gold-plated to give away to their sales representatives. GMC approved, and sent the Motorhome blueprints to Rosas, who took about 10 feet from the middle section in order to keep the scale at Hot wheels size. These gold-plated Motorhomes are difficult to find and can sometimes go for $1500 or more.
The Motorhome debuted in the line as part of the Truckin' Machines 6-pack with Redlines. Later that year, it was released in a single blister package with BW as #25 in the 1977 Flying Colors series. This casting has also gone by the name Airport Transportation and Captain America Van.
The Motorhome made a re-appearance to the Mainline in 2006 in black paint as Collector #208. It also served as #29 in Hot Wheels Classics Series 4. First released in Spectraflame Black, the Motorhome has since been made in red, chrome, and a new purple color.
In 2009, it was released as a Treasure Hunt.
