HOT WHEELS 1976 CHEVROLET CHEVETTE NO5 1/64

The Pro Street customised Hot Wheels 1976 Chevrolet Chevette casting first appeared back in 2013 but is only now migrating into the basic Mainline. Although not exactly the same as our Vauxhall Chevette it certainly shares the same silhouette and styling cues which for many UK collectors is enough to warrant buying this. The casting itself is hardly endowed with lots of detailing or flair but it does look good in its new 2023 Case N recolour.
Found recently at Smyths Toys.
Mint and boxed.
