Description 
1991 Hot Wheels Mattel '40's Woodie Collector #217 New In Package # 4316
"To termites it is a meal on wheels, but to those of us with wood grain on the brain, the Woodie is a true taste of the west coast surfer culture - conjuring images of warm summer breezes, bikinis and the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean."
This casting was first released into the lineup in 1980 as a "Hi-Raker". This was a special series that allowed the rear axle to change its height when pulled down, changing the angle of how the vehicle sits, giving it a "raked" hot rod appearance. Only the very first release of the '40's Woodie had smooth side panels. All other versions released afterwards have a wood-grain texture to the side panels.
A piece of luggage can be found on the rear of the interior of the casting.
Collector's Notes
The ’40s Woodie is a long-running Hot Wheels casting with roots extending well before the 1990s, making it especially appealing to collectors who enjoy classic Hot Wheels designs.
This Collector #217 / Mattel #4316 release is particularly attractive for its early-1990s presentation, teal-and-black color combination and vintage Blue Card packaging.
Unlike modern mainlines, surviving carded examples are now more than three decades old. For collectors, original packaging condition can have a meaningful impact on desirability and value.
This is not considered an especially rare high-dollar variation, but it is an excellent affordable vintage Hot Wheels piece with strong nostalgic display appeal.
