Hot Wheels x MoMA Collectible die-cast Car – Volkswagen

Mattel Creations and MoMA make art together with these Hot Wheels® replicas inspired by iconic vehicles in MoMA’s collection. Choose from the Citroen DS 23 and Volkswagen Type 1 Sedan, each sold separately. The die-cast cars are scaled 1:64 to the originals. Includes a display case. The Volkswagen Type 1 Sedan was born in 1938 after German automakers were charged with designing an inexpensive car as part of the government's larger aspirations to get as many Germans on the road as possible and drag the country into the auto age. Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, The Type 1 Sedan lived up to its name by becoming the choice for millions of car owners around the globe. Better known today as the Beetle, the Type 1 surpassed Ford’s Model T as the best-selling automobile of all time in 1972. The Hot Wheels x MoMA model features rear-rider wheels and a rear hood that opens to showcase the car’s motor. France has a rich history in the art and design world, and that includes car design. Sweeping curves creating a teardrop-shaped body lend a sleek silhouette to the 1973 Citroën DS23 Sedan. Innovation was at the forefront of this vehicle, especially when it came to the suspension. Seeing the self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension adjust the vehicle’s height, giving it a floating appearance, is in itself a work of art. The minimalistic interior creates a crossroads of sophistication and simplicity as it seamlessly integrates with its futuristic body shape. Suffice it to say, designers Flamino Bertoni and André Lefèbvre took design intention to a whole other level. Made from die-cast metal and plastic.
