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.
 

Deora II and Pink Cars

The Dodge Deora was a custom car built by Dodge in 1965.

It was also one of the first few Hot Wheels ever made.

This is an updated version.

The original was very angular and the surfboards were separate plastic pieces that could be removed.

The silver one is one from a couple years and the surfboards were still removable.  Later we got the white one and the surfboards were molded onto the model, sadly.

They make a nice little collection of cars, enough difference in the paint jobs to make them look good.

Holy pink cars, Batman!
 

Polestar TRX

Hot Wheels Polestar TRV truck.

This is an imaginary electric all terrain vehicle.

I think they did a pretty good job with the design.

Hot Wheels have done several different paint jobs on it.

I like these to a lot.

I don't think this would be a good EV in real life, I think the battery space is too small.

It has a good science fiction look and I have considered changing up the rear deck to make a moon buggy.

Part of my surf collection.  I am pretty sure Race surfs.
 

Surf Van

Hot Wheels Buzz Bomb van.

I got this for my Beach Party collection.

It's a nice little van.

I like the surfboards on the roof.

I likely will repaint one of them.

But the original paint job is very nice.

Beach Car Show

Custom cars on the beach.

Some made for vast sums of money by large companies, and other custom cars made by individuals.

 A white Manta, and a classic Woody book end a couple other cars.

 A good turn out for the car show and beach blanket party.

A good turn out.

Everyone is having fun.

A day at the beach is always a good time.
 

A Day at Gotham City Beach

A peaceful day at Gotham City Beach.

An informal car show for all the surfers.

With great vehicles from custom builders.

Girls and boys enjoying the warm day at the beach.
