🏁 Collector's Notes
The 1932 Bugatti Type 50 has an interesting history within the Hot Wheels lineup. The underlying casting traces its roots back considerably further than this particular 2006 release and appeared over the years under variations of the Bugatti Type 50 name.
This 2006 Collector #177/223 version is identified by product number J3461 and features a Metalflake Green body, yellow side graphics, yellow-tinted windshield and Gold 5DOT wheels.
The Gold 5DOT wheels are particularly attractive on this release because they complement the Bugatti's classic pre-war styling and give the model a noticeably different appearance from modern Hot Wheels sports and exotic cars.
For collectors, this isn't necessarily a high-dollar rarity, but it represents something increasingly appealing: an unopened, approximately 20-year-old Hot Wheels mainline featuring a licensed historic Bugatti.
The combination of its age, metallic green finish, gold wheels and classic European subject makes it an interesting piece for collectors who appreciate earlier Hot Wheels releases rather than focusing exclusively on current mainlines.
