A gentleman on a game show is asked to identify cubed cars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7_hAJeE9KE The video runs about 9½ minutes. |

Err, you might want to edit the # and everything after so we don't start half a second from the end of the video.

While never as nicely cubed as those, we get truckloads of completely squished cars driving along the freeway, en route to recycling plants in Mexico, and my co-workers are amazed that I can usually identify what the car had been based on the small details. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7_hAJeE9KE#t=574.165667 - this link does the same 1 sec and stopp, but you can hit the replay button and it restarts at the beginning https://youtu.be/w7_hAJeE9KE - this linke restarts by itself Interesting concept. I used to and still do try to ID cars on flat beds that have been crushed. They wrap them in neeting and covers now so it is harder to do. The saddest one I ever sawa was a flattend 1978 Corvette Pace Car with the Indy graphics in place just a few years back. But since this is a diecast forum - who can identify the 5 numbered diecasts they pulled from the gas can? #9 - 3:00 mark - neat streeter (ford low boy coupe) #8 - 4:07 mark - porsche 918 #1- 4:55 mark - alpha romao (4c) #11 - 5:54 mark - toyota land cruiser #7 - 7:07 mark (to far awasy - so my guess is a black one!) I think I only got 2 out 5 maybe and one is the last black one! Good luck... Edited by Milton Fox Racing, May 29 2016, 04:28 AM.

1. (#6) 1940 Ford Coupe - Hot Wheels 2. (#8) 2001 Lotus Esprit S4 - Hot Wheels 3. (#1) I struggled with this one, and can't come up with an answer I can be confident in. 4. (#11) Hummer H3 "BLINGS" casting - Hot Wheels 5. (#7) the camera never zooms in on this one, and the video quality isn't good enough for me to see anything about what this one could possibly be. |

I thought they were all hot wheels as well, which was surprising since I was expecting them to be all matchbox. |
