Hot Wheels Oil Can Custom '51 Merc from the 12th Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2003

Hot Wheels Oil Can Custom '51 Merc from the 12th Annual Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2003

Kool Moe Dee(ages self).  Limited to 3,000, it was sold in Yokohama, Japan.  My original home!  I was just discussing with a Japanese collector on Twitter how we both developed a soft spot for these "Mercs" because of Hot Wheels.  In my case, little bit of M2 & Hot Wheels.

According to the report from this Hot Rod Custom show in Yokohama, the Merc, along with the '71 Dodge Charger were a big hit(sorry, all in Japanese lol).  Attraction of the show included autograph session featuring superstar hot wheels designer Larry Wood & superstar custom & hot rod builder George Barris.  Pics:
