Seems to me I remember "HOT WHEELS" had a car that looked very much like this.
1st gen. series I think, along with the split-n-image and deora.

Otto Puzzell

That may be, but this wasn't designed for or by the folks at Mattel.

I'd say 'sort of'. It was a "what if" illustration, given the same name as a car that was currently available for sale.

It sure looks like one of his illustrations, but no.

Allemano

Does this production car resemble the one in the illustration in a certain way?

Otto Puzzell

Only by the greatest possible stretch of the imagination.

Locked for you for 24 hours, or until your next guess, whichever comes first.

Of course not. That's why I've wanted to keep it open.  ;)

A quite simple, but very nice sketch.
