Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible
Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury
of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition
with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to
remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The
cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition
in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a
one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in
history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe
bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic
blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers
will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the
V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original
16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most
valuable collector items today.
