Hot Wheels '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser (297) Special NYC edition

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#samedwheels #55ChevyGasser #NYC
On the bench today is a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels ’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser. Designed by Brendan Vetuskey, this one debuted in the HW Showroom: American Turbo series in 2013.
The Chevrolet Bel Air, especially its second generation design, is considered an icon of the 1950s. The Gasser design came out of American drag racing where the front end was jacked up to transfer more weight over the back tires.
