Hot Wheels Unveils ’65 Dodge Coronet Collector Edition

Hey, Hot Wheels enthusiasts and collectors, get ready to add a new Mopar to your collection. Hot Wheels’ latest Collector Edition series vehicle (and the second release for 2024): the ’65 Dodge Coronet.

The 1965 Dodge Coronet marked a significant shift in automotive design, transitioning from the more conservative styles of the early 1960s to a sleek, streamlined appearance. This redesign reflected the growing popularity of muscle cars, and the ’65 Coronet, especially those equipped with the HEMI® engine, quickly became a favorite among drag racers. Its impressive performance on the drag strip solidified Dodge’s reputation in the muscle car arena.

Hot Wheels has done a fantastic job capturing the essence of the ’65 Dodge Coronet with this Collector Edition release. The model is crafted with the same high quality and meticulous attention to detail as the coveted Red Line Club (RLC) cars. Here’s a closer look at what makes this release special:

• Body Color: Spectraflame Red
• Graphics: Authentic manufacturer logos, Hot Wheels logo, #4
• Body Type: ZAMAC (Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium-Copper) alloy
• Wheels: Real Riders classic stock car wheels
• Base: Full-metal, zinc-plated chassis
• Window Color: Clear
• Interior Color: Black
• Scale: 1:64

This ’65 Dodge Coronet casting first appeared in the 2009 Dragstrip Demons series, celebrating the Factory Experimental (A/FX) drag racing class. The A/FX class allowed manufacturers to modify their production vehicles for drag racing, paving the way for the ‘Funny Cars’ we see today.
