1938 Citroën 15cv TA Burago Scala 1:24

El Citroën Traction Avant (literalmente «tracción delantera»), conocido también en España y Argentina como Citroën 11 u 11 Ligero,​ es uno de los más célebres modelos del fabricante de automóviles Citroën. Fue presentado el 18 de abril de 1934. Fue concebido como un coche moderno y avanzado para su época

The Citroën Traction Avant (French pronunciation: ​[tʁaksjɔ̃ aˈvɑ̃]) was a range of mostly 4-door saloons and executive cars, with four or six-cylinder engines, produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1934 to 1957. Approximately 760,000 units were produced.

Whilst front-wheel drive and independent suspension had been well established in the mass market by Auto Union and others some years before, the Traction Avant pioneered mass-production of a crash resistant, unitary, monocoque body. Additionally, the car was also an early adopter of rack and pinion steering.

Although the car's name emphasized its front-wheel drive power delivery ("Traction Avant" literally means “front traction”), the car stood out at least as much by its much lower profile and stance – made possible by the absence of a separate chassis under the car's unitary body – sharply distinguishing it visually from its contemporaries.

1997 Chrysler Dodge Concept Car Hot Wheels 1:64









From Fandom:
 The Dodge Concept Car is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Phil Riehlman that debuted in the 1998 First Editions. The tool is based on a concept car originally called the Dodge Copperhead. However, due to copyright issues with the name Copperhead, DaimlerChrysler started referring to the vehicle as simply the Dodge Concept Car. So, the Hot Wheels version was named this as well.

Very few black interior versions were ever produced in China, their value today, MOMC, comes anywere between 200-300 USD compaired to Malaysia's purple interior that still fetches over 50 USD.

At a weight of 1.9oz, this metal based car has a great lower center of gravity and is great for racing.
