Well, since RHB is gone…jet setting around the globe, kissing babies, shaking hands and the like, guess that means I should throw a blog up.

So my contribution this week will be the introduction of the last of the 2010 Target Allstar RED Transporters. These little hotties should already be in your local Target stores, if they aren’t, they will be soon so keep an eye out.

We have chosen 2 automotive icons to close out the 2010 season, the race themed 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air and cloaked in fire gear, the 2010 Ford Mustang GT.

Here’s a quiz for ‘ya, who can identify the history behind the fire theme? Sorry, no prize for this one, you’ll just be a little wiser.

Enjoy!

And for your viewing pleasure, here are the other 6 that complete this years release.

The 1955 Buick Century fire theme and the 1929 Ford race theme

The 1971 Vega Salt Flat Racer

The 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T police theme

The 1936 Chevrolet race theme

And the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution race theme

So there you have it, the 2010 Allstars Target RED Transporters.
