Oldcarfan27 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 One of my favorite Hot Wheels cars. I had the one called "Dixie Challenger". Probably wouldn't be PC nowadays. If that's the Lindberg kit, I want one. The proportions look real good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, Rodger Dodger is one of those that just looks "right." I also had the Dixie Challenger, though one of my favorite decos is when they used it in their Cop Rods series. Nice to see it in 1/24, I'm hoping to try one myself some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
