Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive 1962 Ford F-100 "Cream of the Crop"

The 1962 Ford F-100 arrived at the exact moment American trucks stopped being purely working tools and started being something people actually wanted. Ford's fourth-generation F-Series introduced the unibody option — cab and bed merged into one continuous piece — a design gamble aimed squarely at the suburbanising post-war buyer who needed a truck for the weekend rather than the wheat field. The two-tone era of 1960s truck styling hit its peak right here: sweeping body lines, chrome trim, and paint combinations that made no apology for being beautiful. The "Cream of the Crop" colourway captures that perfectly — teal Spectraflame over cream, with matching hood, bed rails and FORD tailgate script. It looks exactly like something you'd find at a county show in 1963.

Hot Wheels has released multiple variants of this casting, and the 2026 "Cream of the Crop" stands out for all the right reasons. Opening hood reveals engine detail, Real Riders kidney bean wheels wear whitewalls on silver VUM rims, chrome chassis, teal interior, and the custom "SLIXT2" plate — a wink at the seamless unibody line.
