Half Curve

Released in the first years of Hot Wheels, the Half Curve was one of many accessory sets used to add onto any track set. It's two 45 degree (or 90 degree put together) turns tracks will give any Redline cars a sturdy, fast turn. To many collectors, the box featuring the early Hot Wheels concept art on the packaging alone makes it worthy to display.
