Chevy Stocker (1997)

==Description==
This casting is not to be confused with the older Chevy Stocker, a Hot Wheels casting released in 1989 and designed by Larry Wood. Both castings are similar, although the Huffman Stocker, as it is colloquially known, features door details and flared fenders, although it is mounted on the standard Hot Wheels stock car base. This casting is notorious for its downhill racing capabilities and is coveted by those in the downhill racing circuit due to its short wheelbase and metal-metal construction.
It is often said that this version of the Chevy Stocker is an ex-Corgi casting that made it into the 1997 Hot Wheels Mainline; this however is debatable and is likely a misconception as there is no evidence or official statements to support this and the chassis of the previous 1988 Chevy Stocker fits this new casting. There also exists no known Corgi casting that resembles the above. It has also been suggested that it was retooled as part of a new line of racing vehicles for 1997 or 1998 that ultimately was never produced. The casting was only released once and was then discontinued.
