Release identification
Pride Rides 2/10 is the metallic-orange 57135, numbered 140 of 220 in the 2003 mainline. Flame graphics cover the sides and hood; yellow glazing and interior contrast with the body. Cataloged examples show both gold-chrome and chrome base finishes, so record the base on the individual car rather than treating it as a separate release.
Identify this example by matching the year and toy number with the body finish, graphic layout, and release marking. The Custom ’59 Cadillac has several same-casting finishes, so a color or series name alone should be checked against the car and its packaging.
Physical details
Metallic orange body. Black, orange, and red flame graphics. Yellow windows and interior. Sawblade-style wheels. Two base finishes have been reported.
Record the visible details on the individual car. Wheel, base, interior, and glazing notes can vary between catalog records or observed examples; only treat a detail as confirmed when it is visible on the car being documented.
