Back to the casting guide

Choosing one for your collection

Look for chips around the rear fenders and the edges of the engine scoop. A second side view helps confirm that you are seeing the expected decoration rather than a missing print.

Compare paint in neutral light. Metalflake purple can look almost black in shadow, while strong reflections can make the bright engine look cleaner than it is.

Collector questions

Where is the Hot Wheels logo?

The silver logo is documented on the right side. The reference shows that side; ask for both sides when checking a loose example.
