Lightning McQueen 'As Chester Whipplefilter' Die-Cast Vehicle

This item is a 1:55 scale die-cast toy vehicle representing Lightning McQueen in his 'Chester Whipplefilter' undercover persona from the Disney Pixar 'Cars 3' Thunder Hollow demolition derby scene. The car features a vibrant red base color with stylized brown and yellow graphics on the hood and sides, including a 'Piston Cup' logo variant. A prominent yellow 'STUDENT DRIVER' roof sign is mounted on top. The car is equipped with complex black structural rigging extending across the roof and hood, terminating in spherical attachment points. The construction is primarily die-cast metal with plastic components for the accessories, wheels, and interior. Notable features include expressive character eyes on the windshield and simulated muddy/worn paint details consistent with the demolition derby theme. The condition appears used but fair, with visible paint chips on the front bumper and several points of wear along the edges of the metal body. The black plastic rigging shows some slight deformation but remains intact. Manufactured by Mattel, this piece dates from approximately 2017 or later, reflecting the release period of the 'Cars 3' collectible line.
