Description

The Buick Stocker is the 2nd Stock Car from Buick after the NASCAR Stocker. Though coming out in 1991, the casting is styled as a late 80's Buick stocker starring Tommy Houston #6 Roses car (which he drove from 1987-1991)

The casting was also suppose to feature Bret Bodine #26 Quarker State car which was suppose to originally be the first variation in the mainline series. The casting was also in the Pro Circuit before being replaced by the T-Bird Stocker.

As seen in the Gallery, the casting was initially supposed to reflect the most recent version of the Buick Stocker at the time (with its thinner body and smaller grille), but instead the designers went with a slightly older version of the stock car. This is possibly due to the fact that Buick stopped entering NASCAR the year the Buick Stocker casting entered the Hot Wheels line in 1991.
