1 Week a Few Cars?

Assalamualaikum and hai Hotwheels collectors and diecast lovers! Long time no see! well thats on my part and I do apologize due to work load and different commitments, I rarely have the free time to write /blog/post pictures. But here i am trying to do right with you guys and post some awesome diecast!

Well to start of is the  MAD MANGA!

The Mad Manga itself is a representative of Japanese custom style called Bosozoku (more about it here http://www.speedhunters.com/?s=Bosozoku) . Based on the 70's "group 5" cars are moded with extreme fenders, exhaust pipes, skirts and star designs. To say Madmanga is the Extreme JDM modes in the Diecast world

Next on the list is The Datsun 510 Wagon (again of the same car, a tribute to JDM).

 The Datsun Bluebird 510 was launched in August 1967 and its one of the models which is wildly accepted in the US. What was considered then was "Poor man's BMW" now is the epitome of JDM Nostalgic cars. It was inspired by the contemporary European sedans particularly the 1966 BMW 1600-2. To the most part the 197 Datsun Bluebird is famous for Rally races as it won the 18th East African Safari Rally.

However this Datsun 510 wagon is also famous from Jun Imai's 1971 Datsun 510 Wagon (source : http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2012/12/19/jun-imais-datsun-510-wagon/ )



On to the Hotwheels, Jun Imai is the Hotwheels designer for the nostalgic Castings in recent years, like the AE86 Corolla, Datsun 510, Hakosuka , Kenmeri Skyline, RX-7 and 1970 Toyota Celica.

Thus the diecast datsun wagon is based on the badass car above.

  • To start the Datsun 510 Wagon was released in the year 2013
  • in the series HW Boulevard
  • with Aqua Marine Color on the cast
  • It has Red CoMo (Co-molded wheel) wheel type
