Hot Wheels 2001 Mainline Series,Metrorail #160,Toy #53703,Red,5sp Wheels,Diecast
The Metrorail is an original Hot Wheels design based on a customized 1950's Nash Metropolitan, one of the first American "subcompact" cars. The Metropolitan was an American design built at Austin's Longbridge plant in England, and then exported to the USA and Canadian markets.
The Hot Wheels version was designed by Mike Nuttall and has a dramatically elongated hood, plus a supercharged V8 engine.
Collector's Notes
The Metrorail casting was designed by Mike Nuttall and debuted in the 2000 Hot Wheels First Editions series. Its design was inspired by a customized 1950s Nash Metropolitan, dramatically reimagined with an elongated hood and exposed supercharged V8-style engine.
This particular 2001 Collector #160 / Toy #53703 variation features the red-and-white Metrorail color scheme and was manufactured in China.
For collectors, this release represents an interesting early variation of a casting that had debuted only one year earlier, making it a nice companion piece to the original 2000 First Edition.
