Hot Wheels at SEMA 1971 Cuda

SEMA 2006:

EDMUNDS STRAIGHTLINE - - The Hot Wheels booth was full of interesting cars...and such. But here's a case where the "restification" of classic iron goes too far. The 1971 'Cuda was a beautiful car in stock form, and there's little anyone can do to improve on it. Slightly larger wheels and a slightly lowered ride height is fine, but this car looked like a caricature of the original -- and not in a good way.
