At Hot Wheels Nationals: Opening the stunning DeLorean Dinner Model with Hot Wheels Designer Manson Cheung

April 4, 2019

One day – at least for me – in the books. Many have already been here for a few days. But I flew into Chicago this morning and have been the Westin Lombard experiencing the Hot Wheels Nationals Convention ever since. The first highlight was surely the dinner honoring Designer Manson Cheung.

Manson went through his career at Hot Wheels (did you know the MC5 wheels are named after him?) and his obsession with pop culture and icons like the Back to the Future DeLorean. He owns a DeLorean himself, and designed the Hot Wheels casting, so naturally it was the special model given to attendees.

The model, with its gullwing doors open, looks great in the package, but FAR better out. The body is brushed, and it has to be seen to be believed. So we opened one with Manson himself live after the dinner, and Designer Brendon Vetuskey joined in as well.

Enjoy;

Another model that I will only ever see in pictures and videos but I’m glad it exists. This is arguably the best DMC they ever made.

that is really awesome !!!, not that I’m bragging,but ok I will, last June 2018, I just happened to purchase a 2018 Hot Wheel’s 50th anniversary SS Camero, oh yeah I still can’t believe it’s mine, I have to pinch myself it’s a beautiful Crush( orange)& matte black stripes, the only color it came in, there was only 500 made, the Chevrolet Corporation sent me the Hot Wheel’s cast car of my car along with an authentication plaque that has the production sequence number and the vin # of my car they also sent me the cast car of the 1967 Camero, which was the first hot wheels Camero, I love the looks I get, people take pictures of it, when I’m driving down the road , people will do a double take and they always focus in on the hot wheels plaque on the car, then I’m always of course getting challenged, this car is a show stopper

What a gorgeous representation of a DeLorean! You can see just how much thought and detail went into this model. Would be a wonderful car to have in the collection, but I’ll just have to admire from the web.
