Seems to me I remember "HOT WHEELS" had a car that looked very much like this.
1st gen. series I think, along with the split-n-image and deora.

That may be, but this wasn't designed for or by the folks at Mattel.

I'd say 'sort of'. It was a "what if" illustration, given the same name as a car that was currently available for sale.

It sure looks like one of his illustrations, but no.

Allemano · « **Reply #17 on:** October 01, 2010, 07:38:00 AM »

Does this production car resemble the one in the illustration in a certain way?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** October 01, 2010, 07:42:54 AM »

Only by the greatest possible stretch of the imagination.

Allemano · « **Reply #19 on:** October 01, 2010, 07:47:09 AM »

Corvette?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** October 01, 2010, 07:48:25 AM »

A-ha!

Locked for you for 24 hours, or until your next guess, whichever comes first.

Of course not. That's why I've wanted to keep it open.

A quite simple, but very nice sketch.
