Hot Wheels – '32 Ford


Scale model of an automobile in the "hot rod" style, the '32 Ford, made by Hot Wheels. This example is reference 6, included in the "2017 HW Flames" series. It is made in Malaysia. Metal body painted in red, with yellow and orange flames on the sides. Exposed engine. Black plastic base. Glazing represented in transparent plastic. Interior details in "chrome" plastic. Plastic wheels with "chrome" details simulating the rims (5SP). No suspension. The nominal scale is 1:64 and the overall length is approximately 2.4 in. About 1 oz. This model represents an automobile in the "hot rod" style, the '32 Ford, based on the 1932 Ford Model 18 or B coupe. It is made by Hot Wheels in numerous versions.

The 1932 Ford Coupe is an icon among the "hot rod" enthusiasts community – and you don't even have to associate it with the 1963 Beach Boys "Little Deuce Coupe" song or with the 1973 Francis Ford Coppola "American Graffiti" film. As a miniature, the deuce coupe maintains its charisma and Hot Wheels knows it, since it has been offering it in numerous variants since 1998. A must in any hot rod collection, it is also a good starting point for eventual customizations. This automobile, the '32 Ford, is in my collection under the themes "American Vehicles" and "Muscle Cars & Hot Rods". ●

O Ford Coupe de 1932 é um ícone entre a comunidade de entusiastas de "hot rods" – e nem sequer é preciso associá-lo à canção dos Beach Boys "Little Deuce Coupe" de 1963 ou ao filme de Francis Ford Coppola "American Graffiti" de 1973. Como miniatura, o pequeno deuce coupe mantém o seu carisma e a Hot Wheels sabe disso, já que o tem vindo a oferecer em numerosas variantes desde 1998. Fundamental em qualquer colecção de hot rods, é igualmente um bom ponto de partida para eventuais personalizações. Este automóvel, o '32 Ford, encontra-se na minha colecção sob os temas "Veículos Americanos" e "Muscle Cars & Hot Rods". ●

It is made in Portugal by Majorette through a subsidiary company, Minia Porto, based in Baltar, about 20 km from Porto.

The " Novacar " series or " Série 100 " appears in Majorette's 1994, 1995 and 1996 catalogs. The word "Novacar" clearly derives from the expression "new car", denoting a sense of freshness and innovation. The catalogs show photos of each reference, 101 to 121, as well as of the packaging options.
