Hot Wheels '63 Corvette Sting Ray 'Smiley Speed' Die-cast Car

This is a die-cast toy car, specifically a Hot Wheels model, replicating a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. The car measures approximately 2.5 to 3 inches in length, typical for a 1:64 scale die-cast vehicle. It features a vibrant metallic green paint finish, giving it a somewhat iridescent appearance. The windows are tinted yellow/orange, contributing to its playful aesthetic. The design includes distinctive graphics: lime green wavy lines run across the hood and sides, overlaid with a prominent yellow smiley face symbol on the hood and possibly on the side panel visible. The text 'SMILEY SPEED' is visible beneath the smiley face on the side. The wheels are black with chrome-colored multi-spoke hubcaps. The chassis appears to be exposed metal or chrome, suggesting a base of die-cast metal, while the body is also metal. The condition appears to be good with minimal visible wear, scratches, or paint chips. There are no major signs of damage or repairs, indicating it has been well-preserved or lightly played with. The craftsmanship is consistent with Hot Wheels' standard production, featuring precise molding and tampo-printed decals. This particular design with the smiley face and 'Smiley Speed' branding suggests it is a specific release or series, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed to appeal to both collectors and children.
