Mattel has started to release this years Stars and Stripes cars and we will be taking a look at them and also giving some possible investment advice on these cars. These cars typically come out around summertime each year and focus on American cars. In each previous iteration, the cards can be placed in order to make an image. This year we have the American Flag shown in a comic book art style. The first car in the set is the 2013 SRT Viper. It comes in a red paint with graphics similar to the comic book flag on the cards. SRT, Dodge, and Mopar logos can be seen throughout. There is also some head and tail light detailing. Expect to see this car around $6 on the resale market. The second car is the 2013 COPO Camaro. This car features blue paint and mismatched white and red rims. COPO and Camaro graphics can be seen on the side of the vehicle. The stars and stripes decals also give this card a similar feel to the card it is on. This car will perform similarly to the Viper or slightly better given the Camaros likeability. The third car in the series is the 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. It comes in a grey paint scheme which deviates from the red, white, and blue aesthetic but still looks good. The car features red rims, Mopar, Dodge, and Demon logos. The red and blue stripes are also similar to those on the card. This car should perform like the Camaro and Viper however, we have seen Challengers become very popular so it could have a higher upside. The fourth car in the line up is the 2020 Ford Shelby GT500. This car features white paint with black stars, blue and red stripes, and black rims. Shelby, Ford, and Cobra logos can be seen on the side of the vehicle The stripes are also in line with the rest of the vehicles and the headlight detailing is a nice touch. We expect the Shelby to perform the best out of the group given its notoriety. The Shelby Cobra is a nice car and the name is enough to make people want to purchase it. We wouldn’t expect to see this car for more than $10 though. Finally, the last car in the set is the 2020 Corvette. It comes in a darker red paint and is the only car not to feature its own manufacturer branding on the side. Instead, we are treated to a white Hit Wheels flame across the side of the vehicle. This car does keep the overall stars and stripes aesthetic. The Corvette we expect to perform at the same level as the Viper. Although the C8 is a great car, it hasn’t had the same popularity as some of the other muscle cars more likely due to its supercar aesthetic. Overall the Stars and Stripes set is a great set for those who are fans of American Muscle. While there isn’t a car going for a massive amount over retail, these cars could be good to pick up and try to make a few bucks.
