Re: Front End (LongTimer)
There was an interview months ago with the head Hot Wheels designer concerning the big 35th anniversary Hot Wheels bash planned for the Petersen Automotive museum in LA . He said he was currently working with a Red C6 ( sounds like the one they revealed much later to the dealers in Las Vegas) getting measurements , photos and proportions so that the toy version would be ready early next year at stores . This looks like it. Notice the shape of the side marker light , the way the rear fender top blends into the door, etc. exactly as on the " SF " photos.

I'd bet that the Franklin Mint and/or Danbury Mint have been doing the same thing, too.

Re: Front End (C4TUSC)
I hope this is right and the headlights will have the body color under glass look a la Ferrari instead of the massive chrome triangle like most cars have.
Sorry, don't want to incite another headlight debate. :leaving:
Thanks for the pic. :cheers:
BTW, that Hot Wheels guy just HAS to brag about how he knows what it looks like already. Punk. :smash:
