Physical Details
Physical Details
Pearl-white body paint, silver side pinstripes, Y5 wheels and side mirrors are visible on the photographed carded specimen. Established catalogs document metal body, black plastic base, chrome interior and smoke-tint windows. Malaysia is a catalog attribution; this front photograph does not show the base country mark.
Tire material and exact measured scale are unknown here. One card-front photograph is available; no substitute or repeated photo is presented as another view.
Packaging Details
Packaging Details
The exact photograph shows one car in a 2006 New Models blister card, with Instant Win promotional artwork, 34 of 38 series position, 034/223 collector position and J3275 toy number. The reverse is unavailable, so assortment, full package suffix and UPC remain unknown for this photographed specimen. A barcode from a First Editions card must not be assigned to it.
Casting History
Casting History
Jun Imai designed the '07 Cadillac Escalade casting for its 2006 debut. The name refers to the modeled 2007 vehicle, not a 2007 toy release. Earlier Hot Wheels Escalade EXT, Blings and stock Escalade designs use separate tooling; a similar name does not establish this casting.
Notable Releases
Notable Releases
The black 2006 First Editions versions document Y5, OH5 and FTE wheel choices. The 2007 Gold Rides release uses gold-chrome plastic body construction over a metal base. Later taxi and Street Power releases provide additional tooling and decoration comparisons.
