Disney Pixar Cars Lightning McQueen Die-Cast Toy Car

This is a 1:55 scale die-cast toy vehicle representing the character Lightning McQueen from the Disney Pixar 'Cars' franchise. The item is predominantly bright red with a gloss finish, featuring the character's signature stock car silhouette. It is decorated with various decals and tampo prints, including the 'Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment' logo on the hood and rear spoiler, the racing number '95' in yellow and orange on the roof and side panels, and lightning bolt graphics alongside sponsor logos like 'Lightyear' on the black plastic tires. The car features a die-cast metal body with plastic components for the base, windows, and interior. Notable details include the character's expressive cartoon eyes printed on the windshield and a determined facial expression on the front bumper. Condition analysis reveals moderate play wear: there is visible paint chipping and scuffing on the front bumper area, side fenders, and rear spoiler edges. The decals show some slight fading and edge wear, consistent with an item produced between 2006 and the mid-2010s by Mattel. The wheels appear functional, though the overall patina indicates it has been used as a toy rather than a preserved collectible.
