Dyna Wide Glide Appraisal

Hot Wheels Collectibles 1:10 Scale Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide

This is a detailed 1/10 scale die-cast motorcycle model of a Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, produced by Mattel under the Hot Wheels Collectibles branding. The model features a striking silver and chrome finish, accurately replicating the metallic components of the original motorcycle including the engine block, exhaust pipes, and spoked wheels. The fuel tank and fenders are painted in a light silver/grey metallic hue with authentic Harley-Davidson decals. Notable features include high-fidelity chrome-plated parts, rubber tires, and a sissy bar at the rear of the black seat. Regarding condition, the item is presented 'New In Box' (NIB), though the black cardboard packaging shows significant shelf wear. The plastic display window is heavily scuffed, scratched, and clouded, which impact the visual presentation. There is visible fraying and edge wear on the box corners, and dust accumulation suggests a manufacturing period in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Despite the external cosmetic issues with the packaging, the model itself appears structurally intact within its original ties, showing no signs of paint oxidation or missing parts, making it a desirable piece for automotive and motorcycle scale model enthusiasts.
