Gearheads and collectors, start your engines! Hot Wheels just dropped a holiday bombshell for its Red Line Club (RLC) members – a 1952 Dodge Power Wagon model that's as cool as it gets.

If you're a fan of classic trucks with a twist, you're in for a treat.

Swivel-Frame 1952 Dodge Power Wagon

A Model with a Twist – Literally

This isn't your average miniature car. This 1:64-scale Dodge Power Wagon comes with a swivel frame – a feature that lets the front and rear halves move independently. It's a nod to the real Power Wagon's popular upgrades, making this mini more than just a pretty face.

Rugged Looks Meet Retro Style

The toy version amps up the original's rugged charm. Picture this: knobby tires, smoky windows, and a front-bumper winch that screams adventure. And the color? A sleek Spectraflame British racing green paired with gold accents – fenders, running boards, you name it. The Real Riders 10-spoke beadlock wheels and the "High Country Tree Service" graphics on the doors add a touch of gold glam.

The Details That Count

This little Power Wagon is no lightweight. It boasts a full metal base with a matte-black chassis that adds to its vintage vibe. It's a piece of history, a conversation starter, and a work of art all rolled into one.

Get It While It's Hot

For Hot Wheels’ RLC members, this Dodge is up for grabs at $30. If you're not in the club yet, here's the deal: a $9.99 yearly subscription gets you in on the exclusive sELECTIONs cars, member-only forums, insider news, and cool experiences like meeting Hot Wheels designers.
