What is a White Lightning car?
White Lightning cars are variations-made in small quantities-of regular production models. For 1:64-scale cars, RC2 produces White Lightning versions for 1% to 2% of any production run. We randomly insert these cars into cases at the factory.

To give you an idea of how scarce these cars are, consider this: If RC2 produces 10,000 Pontiac GTO models for its Musclecars series, and makes 1% of those cars White Lightning versions, we only make 100 White Lightning versions of the GTO. That's 100 White Lightning models for the entire world.

What makes a White Lightning car?
With early White Lightning cars, the company almost always painted the body white or pearl white. It didn't take long for people-collectors and non-collectors-to realize these cars were special, and easy to spot.

The Johnny Lightning Team has always wanted as many White Lightning cars to get into the hands of collectors as possible. To achieve that goal, they began changing the characteristics of the White Lightning car. It wasn't always white any more. That made the cars easier to hide on the pegs…waiting for a collector's keen eye.

Below is a list of White Lightning characteristics. In most cases, any given White Lightning car will have two features that are different from the regular version.

1. White body
2. Pearl-White body
3. White chassis
4. Pearl-White chassis
5. White engine
6. Tinted glass
7. White rims (injected white…not painted)
8. White tires
9. White interior (injected white…not painted)
10. The words "White Lightning" on the tires
11. Metallic gold body (always paired with a white characteristic)
12. Whitewall tires instead of red stripes

Common Combinations:

1. White interior and white rims
2. White tires and white chassis
3. Pearl-White body and white interior
4. Tinted glass and white interior
5. White rims and white tires

Important Facts to Remember:

• Not every white model is a White Lightning car.
• Not every pearl-white model is a White Lightning car.
• Not every car with a white interior is a White Lightning version.
• White Lightning cars aren't always white.
• White Lightning characteristics change with most every release.

The fun is in the hunt. Keep your eyes open. Sometimes a White Lightning car may be hanging on the end of a peg, right in front of you.

History and organization

The convention was founded by Detroit, Michigan-born comics fan Shel Dorf, who in the mid-1960s had mounted the Detroit Triple-Fan Fairs, one of the first commercial comics-fan conventions. When he moved to San Diego, California in 1970, he organized a one-day convention (Golden State Comic-Minicon) on March 21, 1970 "as a kind of 'dry run' for the larger convention he hoped to stage."Dorf went on to be associated with the convention as president or manager, variously, for many years until becoming estranged from the organization.

Following the initial gathering, Dorf's first three-day San Diego comics convention, the Golden State Comic-Con, drew 300 people and was held at the U. S. Grant Hotel from August 1-3, 1970. Other locations in the convention's early years included the El Cortez Hotel, the University of California, San Diego, and Golden Hall, before being moved to the San Diego Convention center in 1991. Richard Alf, Chairman in 1971, has noted an early factor in the Con's growth was an effort "to expand the Comic-Con [organizing] committee base by networking with other fandoms such as the Society for Creative Anachronism and theMythopoeic Society, among others. (We found a lot of talent and strength through diversity)." By the late 1970s the show had grown to such an extent that Bob Schreck recalled visiting with his then-boss Gary Berman of Creation Conventions and reflecting "While [Berman] kept repeating (attemping to convince himself) 'This show's not any bigger than ours!' I was quietly walking the floor stunned and in awe of just how much bigger it really was. I was blown away."

The convention is organized by a panel of 13 board members, 16 to 20 full-time and part-time workers, and 80 volunteers who assist via committees. Comic Con International is a non-profit organization, and proceeds of the event go to funding it, as well as the Alternative Press Expo (APE) and WonderCon. The convention is scheduled to remain in San Diego until 2012
