Rod Squad Series Appraisal

Hot Wheels Mattel '47 Chevy Fleetline - Rod Squad Series

This is a 1:64 scale die-cast metal toy vehicle featuring a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline design, produced by Mattel under the Hot Wheels brand. The car is finished in a muted sage green or olive drab matte paint with dark green and white side-panel graphics reminiscent of mid-century custom 'lowrider' or 'bomber' styles. It features chrome-finished plastic bumpers, a detailed grille, and white-wall tires on black rims. The vehicle is presented in its original 'blister pack' retail packaging. The card back features the iconic large 'Hot Wheels' logo in orange and yellow, with dynamic artwork of the car in the center. Notable markings include '3/5' indicating its place in the 'Rod Squad' sub-series and a collector number of '112/250' at the top right. The packaging includes the 'Guaranteed for Life' seal. Condition-wise, the clear plastic blister appears intact without crushing, and the card shows minimal corner wear, though there is a Slight crease visible near the top hang-tab. This specific model was released around the 2022-2023 main-line collection period. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume die-cast production with a focus on stylized proportions and vibrant graphics.
