2009 Hot Wheels A-OK P2145 — Larry Wood 40 Years of Design — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
2009 A-OK collector record · HWC.com Series 8 · Larry Wood 40 Years of Design · Toy number P2145
About this release
P2145 is the first car in the six-piece Larry Wood 40 Years of Design series. Its aqua metalflake finish, black roof and gold-accented Early Times emblem mark the release at a glance. The blister card carries an individual number, and the edition was limited to 7,500. This casting-specific collector version also has a metal Thailand base and Real Riders with deep-dish rims and redline tires. Keep it distinct from the later pearl-yellow Boulevard taxi and the vintage “Back 40 Tool Salvage” cars.
