Variation SummaryRelease comparison
Variation Summary
The 2017 Mexico release combines blue upper bodywork, white sides, red and white roof striping, number 17 and the Hot Wheels flame logo. The numbered Mexico Convention packaging distinguishes it from the similarly decorated Brazil convention release FNT25; a matching loose-car color scheme cannot establish the regional package identity.

Packaging Details
The inspected example includes a clear display cover, white presentation plinth, printed Hot Wheels sleeve and white outer carton bearing the 10th Convention logo. The underside prints FCM62 and Made in Malaysia; its hologram reads 06960/07000. This documents the numbered edition denominator rather than the number of surviving examples. No barcode, back-panel dimensions or additional contents are established.
Casting HistoryDocumented tooling history
Casting History
Collector references credit Jun Imai with this modified 1971 Datsun wagon and document its debut in the 2013 Boulevard line. The 2017 convention release is a later decoration of that wagon casting, separate from the two-door Datsun Bluebird 510 tooling.

Notable Releases
The 2013 Boulevard X8236 release introduced the wagon; the 2014 BFF31 Super Treasure Hunt uses Spectraflame red and Real Riders. The 2017 Mexico FCM62 convention presentation should remain separate from the Brazil FNT25 regional presentation.
Collector FAQsCasting-specific questions
Collector FAQs
Is this the Brazil convention release?
No. This photographed package identifies FCM62 and the Mexico 10th Convention presentation. Brazil FNT25 needs its own package evidence.
Is the edition 3,000 or 7,000?
The inspected FCM62 package carries a 07000 denominator. A secondary narrative mentioning 3,000 does not override the exact numbered package; quantities attached to a different regional release must remain separate.
Does a package copyright date prove the release year?
No. The 2017 release attribution is corroborated by collector catalogs; the copyright mark is recorded separately.
