What Is It? May 2023

We had one correct guess. Terry Cook of Fort Morgan, Colorado tells us May’s What Is It is Mattel’s Barbie 50th Anniversary of NASCAR Collector edition. Nib Hot Wheels doll added another profession to Barbie’s ever-growing list of titles: NASCAR driver. The box features NASCAR 50th Anniversary artwork. Barbie’s lipstick is carefully picked for this set; Mattel dubbed the color racing red. She has two hats in the set for different display options. The race visor is frequently seen by racers when they are out of the car while the Barbie helmet makes it look like she is ready to start racing. Manufactured 1998. As always a devoted fan of your publication. Thank you, Terry, and congratulations you have won a year’s subscription to the Mountain States Collector.
