I keep seeing comments from collectors saying Hot Wheels should lay off the Gulf liveries a bit. Is that the consensus? Or just a vocal few? Let's dig in.

You can speak for me happily mate. We can't get enough of the cars in their livery (or Mooneyes either). Sadly for me personally, some are impossible to get because of them being Krogers or Dollar General and I live in Britain, where neither shop exists

I love the Gulf liveries! I actually didn't realize how many times Hot Wheels has used it. This is actually quite surprising! Still an awesome and legendary livery though so I guess it makes some sense! Nice video! 😊👍

I love the Gulf livery and bring it on. It's great to see a traditional livery like come back again from the 60's/70's era. The Gulf comeback maybe due to Mclaren F1 using it again. F1 fans went nuts last year when Mclaren used the traditional livery at the Monaco Grand Prix. Their merchandise store sold out of the Gulf gear in quick time. I'm new to collecting Hot Wheels and I'm hunting the older models down in my country (New Zealand) to add to my collection. I love the traditional light blue livery, not so keen on the Spectre blue. I would love to add the 917,993 and 037 to my collection. I would also love to see more models done in other traditional liveries such as Castrol, Agip. Shell etc colours.

I myself love the Gulf livery, mainly because I live in Pittsburgh Pa. and Gulf oil was founded in Pittsburgh and its headquarters were in Pittsburgh over 75 years until Chevron bought them out in the late 80’s. Gulf was one of the famous companies attached to Pittsburgh like Heinz, Alcoa, and USS steel

It seems that when something reaches critical mass (like the sheer quantity of Gulf cars evidenced in this video alone), there is always a sub-sect of folks that get itchy about a particular item or idea or (in this case) deco becoming 'old hat'. Personally, I agree with most of the comments that I've seen so far, here. Gulf is awesome. It fits just about any car, and it's not a bad color combination in and of itself. It has a history, it's fun, it's collectible... There's really no downside. Great video, Jon! The custom that I promised you is on my work bench right now! -Vic

I think that people are getting tired of Gulf because of 2 reasons: 1. There are many diecast companies that use the Gulf livery to sell their products and the market may be saturated (although I would think that having a larger collection of Gulf cars would be better in any case) 2. The price of RLC or Convention cars with Gulf livery from Hot Wheels spikes up really quickly and people are afraid of losing it in the sale. Even Supers, I think it's the same, the price of any Gulf livery Super spikes up really quickly due to demand.

I'm not sick of the Gulf livery...yet, although i'm not as excited as i used to be about it. The key for me is that Mattel should bring out the occasional Gulf casting / set and just not over-do it. And i agree, Spectraflame isn't necessary for a Gulf-themed car, it just makes it look more lush. The new addition, the Datsun 510 looks pretty good. They made 35K units and it's already sold out...that says alot about how many people (or scalpers) collect Hot Wheels out there. Thanks for this vid.

IMHO, It all comes down to collect what you like. If you like Gulf and thousands of others like Gulf they will sell. If the Gulf livery continues to sell diecast manufacturers will find a way to produce the cars. I pick up cars with the Gulf Livery if they are affordable and available. In general, I do not collect diecast vehicles the sole purpose of turning a profit or resale. But if more than one is available, affordable and has potential for resale. I pick up more than one. Hot Wheels does a good job of representing other classic and contemporary car culture and performance brands. I say keep making cars and trucks with the Gulf livery! Thanks for making these videos!

I would be happy if every non-fantasy car had Gulf livery. 200+ cars a year would be fine with me, lol. That is probably more than a lot of people would like. But I haven’t heard anyone say they are getting tired of Gulf. But, I did see a lot more of the ‘67 Ford GT40 Mk. IV on the pegs this year, which is unusual. So who knows, I think it’s purely personal preference.

I love Gulf because it is generally applied to the types of vehicles I like to collect -- anything that causes Hot Wheels to release more real-life production cars of the past is something I am fully behind. I don't think we need any more Deora 3's or "fast-food' cars that take up space on the pegs as they sit there months after month in place of any Gulf cars.

I don’t think gulf livery will ever die. It’s too good of a complimentary color scheme for it to die. Specially with the spectraflame. I am considering the fact that the muted blue just isn’t as popular, but when it’s spectra flamed, it’s a instant seller. If you look at the ID vw in gulf it’s grossing more than most ID cars.
