The Chevy stand in L.A. was bound to illicit smiles from anyone who grew up playing with Hot Wheels as a kid (personally, I can't help but also shiver, remembering my brother's swordfights with those orange tracks – there ain't nothing like that hard plastic hitting your bare legs….).
Inspired by "Custom Camaro", the 1:64 scale model released as one of the very first Hot Wheels models back in 1968, the acid-green concept car was displayed on a full-size section of orange track. The iridescent "Spectraflame" surface is the work of Gold Touch Inc., who virtually invented a new process to achieve its startling look.
They began with a liquid metal primer, followed by several layers of green tint. Ghosted Hot Wheels logos decorate the car's rear flanks under layers of clear coat. Black ground effects, 20” satin-black wheels and milled hood vent extractors give the Camaro concept lots of attitude.
Coming full-circle, it's also available in 1:64.
