Hot Wheels Releases a Toy Model of Last Year’s Tour-Winner
By Dan Carney
Hot Wheels has released the 1:64 die-cast model of the winning entry in last year’s Hot Wheel Legends Tour. The winning vehicle was Lee Johnstone’s 1969 Volvo P1800, which is customized in the style of “gasser” drag racers.
The car is named "Ain't No Saint," in reference to the use of a similar P1800 by the protagonist of the classic television show, "The Saint."
Hot Wheels hosts car shows around the world for gearheads to showcase their craftsmanship. From these shows, ten finalists are chosen for the honor of having a Hot Wheels toy go into production, which commemorates the car.
