Mattel's Hot Wheels toy line has long offered 1/64 scale models of existing cars. Sure, they're toys, but adults collect them, and even people who aren't collectors like to have a Hot Wheels version of their real car. It's pretty hard to find a realistic Hot Wheels replica if your car is a beater with some obvious damage, or if it is up on concrete blocks in your back yard. A new limited edition fills that gap. Behold the Hot Wheels x MSCHF Not Wheels.
Mattel launched a project called Mattel Creations, for which the toy company partners with other companies to create toys for adult collectors. This one is a collaboration with art collective MSCHF (previously at Neatorama). The Not Wheels car has two mismatched regular tires, one mini-spare, and one missing tire. The rest of the car sports bangs and dents, mismatched replacement parts, and in-progress repairs. You might also recognize some once-cool accessories left over from your younger years. See all the details of the Not Wheels car at the Autopian. Unfortunately, the Hot Wheels x MSCHF Not Wheels sold out within minutes of its release, and will probably be seen for premium prices on eBay soon.

Turquoise blue and primer gray. Those are the colors of the car-lot pennants of my people.
