Description

The Steam Roller first debuted in the Hot Wheel lineup in 1974. By 1978, it ran out of "steam" and was quietly retired after just 4 years of use.  It can be found released in the Flying Colors, Super Chromes, and Speedway Specials series.

Although uncommon, the early redline versions can be found with "hybrid" wheels, such as in the above photo, with both capped rear redline wheels and straight-axle syle front wheels.

Additionally, for both the white enamel redline version and the chrome blackwall/basic wheel version, versions with seven stars across the very front nose of the hood and the front wheel arches in a "U" shape are exceptionally rare and often go for two to three figures in completely mint condition.
