Hot Wheels 07 Cadillac Escalade J3275 black oh5 physical detail
Physical Details
Open five-spoke OH5 wheels are visible in the individual front/detail photographs. The card lacks the Faster Than Ever front panel; this is the ordinary OH5 sibling, not the gold-wheel FTE specimen beside it in the seller lot.
The black body carries thin silver side pinstripes. OH5 wheels, side mirrors and the chrome interior are visible through the photographed blister. Collector references document a metal body, black plastic base and light smoke windows. Collector references attribute this wheel version to Malaysia; this listing does not photograph a readable base marking.
Tire material and an exact scale measurement are not independently documented here. Do not infer either from the related Escalade EXT or oversized Blings tooling.

Casting HistoryDocumented tooling history
Casting History
Jun Imai designed this casting for the 2006 First Editions series. This third-generation Escalade SUV tooling is separate from Hot Wheels Cadillac Escalade EXT, Blings and other earlier Escalade designs. Later factory releases also used plastic-body and metal-base construction; those changes must be recorded for the exact release.

Notable Releases
The 2007 Gold Rides gold-chrome plastic-body release, 2009 Dream Garage five-pack, 2010 taxi versions and 2013 Street Power versions provide useful comparisons for this casting. Their colors, construction and wheels do not describe the 2006 black OH5 release.
