Released in 1980 by the Topps company, Weird Wheels features the brilliant artwork of Norman Saunders and Gary Hallgren. The artwork for the set was heavily inspired by the amazing hot rod creatures created by Ed “Big Daddy” Roth back in the 50s & 60s, including Rat Fink and the “Weird-Oh’s” model kits. Weird Wheels consists of 55 different trading card stickers, each one featuring some kind of monster, creature, or mutant riding on a hot rod tailored to its nature. It’s one of those lesser-known sets that I honestly think most people would flip out over, because not only is the artwork some of the best ever released for a Topps set, but the ideas are often brilliant as well. I’d really love to see Topps release a book full of the original artwork for Weird Wheels, just like they did for their Garbage Pail Kids and Mars Attacks trading cards.
