GMC Motorhome
Debut series	1977 Flying Colors
Produced	1977 - Present
Designer	Bob Rosas - Larry Wood

Description

The GMC Motorhome is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Bob Rosas and Larry Wood. Bob contacted GMC and asked for permission to do the motor home. GMC approved it and sent blue prints to Bob. He took the blue prints and in order to keep the scale near Hot wheels size, he took about 10 feet from the middle section. In return GMC asked for about 30 of the finished motor homes gold plated for them to give away to their sales representatives. Its a really tough one to find and can sometimes go for 1500 dollars or more.

It debuted in the line as part of the Truckin' Machines 6-pack with redlines. Later in the 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 as Collector #208. The GMC Motorhome 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.
