Every now and then a gem pops out from Hotwheels such as the 66 Ford Fairlane. It was a hot number back when the 1:1 car launched. It dominated the hot rod scene took on accolades in the stock car racing. The hotwheels version is beautifully sculpted, opting for small wheels with short axles that keep the wheels tucked nearly inside the body arches. The Hotwheels Garage version comes with a metal base and rubber tyres as seen on the black one. Latter version has additional tampos for badges and lights.

In comparison we've also got the greenlight version.  Both are purportedly 1:64 but the GL is wider and longer. The whitewalls truly set off the blue paint and has a perfectly detailed interior in white with steering wheels and column mounted shifter. You won't find this in a HW. The GL version also features a engine bay.
