Deora Surf Car Line Up

I am building cities from all over the world but my largest, is of course the USA.

Growing up in Southern California, surf culture was all around me.

While I did not surf, I did like the movies, the aesthetic, and music, and the beach too.

As part of that I have been buying and painting beach people and beach vehicles. 

Hot Wheels is from California and they make a lot of surf related vehicles.

These are all part of their recent Deora cars.
 

Surf Deora

The Hot Wheels Deora has been made in many versions.

The Deora was a real custom car and one of the first Hot Wheels cars.

Since the 1960s Hot Wheels has been updating the car and making new ones.

This is the tooned version.  It is a car that has been modified to look like a cartoon caricature of the original.

The drivers compartment is often kept in scale with the original to give the impression that if this were a real car it could be driven.

This is a cute version.

It's part of my surfing project.
 

More Corsair

The back end of the 1938 Phantom.

It's a pretty cool car.

It almost looks like the rear could be the front!

Bottom has a bit of detail.

Batman approved.
 

Hot Wheels Corsair

I live in rural Kentucky where there are not a lot of places to get Hot Wheels.  This place, Big O's is a good and inexpensive place to find old Hot Wheels still in the package.

This is one of several I got there recently for $2 each or less!

This is the 1938 Phantom Corsair which was based on a real car.

The real car could seat 6 adults and go 115 miles per hour.

I think the front looks like it should have two machine guns mounted in those holes.

I think I am going to repaint it for use by the Shadow.

Most likely it will be all black, glossy.
