Here we have the Sweet 16! This particular emerald beauty was released in the 2000 Avon Vintage Hot Rods exclusive box set (which also had a fantastic Purple Passion and '32 Ford Vicky). The Sweet 16 is a very old casting. Designed by Paul Tam (whom also created the playful original Whip Creamer), the Sweet 16 made its debut in 1973! Over the years, this casting has seen a moderate number of releases and has even been retooled for the modern market. Though, the last time it was part of the regular mainline series was 2002. I really enjoy this release. The green, white and gold flow together quite nicely, accentuating the natural curves of the body. The trunk even opens slightly as an added bonus. In my opinion, I think we're due for another appearance of this sleek treasure!
