1959 CaddyIdentifying the 1995 edition
The pearl-pink Caddy lets its long fins and bright trim do the talking. The pictured 1995 car belongs to the Real Riders series. Its RR abbreviation should not be expanded to Roarin’ Rods, a different series.
Real Riders number 3 of four
Collector #320, item 13307, is number 3 of four in the Real Riders series. The reference lists pearl-pink paint, clear glazing, a red Hot Wheels logo on the windshield and a chrome Malaysia base. The carded photograph shows the white-letter Real Riders tires.
This is not the lavender #266 Caddy also cataloged for 1995. Keep finish, wheels and card number together when comparing the two.
Look along the fins
Inspect each fin tip and the long upper body edges for chips. The bright finish and chrome-colored trim can hide damage under direct light. An overhead view also reveals the seats and windshield more clearly than this side view.
On a loose car, check the tires for cracking and ask about replacements. A rubber tire is not evidence that every part of the car remains factory original.
Keep the package in the record
The Real Riders banner is visible on this card. For another packaged example, photograph the series banner and item number rather than relying on a seller’s RR shorthand.
Use the loose-car checklist to keep repairs and condition separate from the edition name.
