The new Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive 1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Lowrider is a treat for RLC members and a collectible aimed at making non-RLC regret not joining the exclusive club. It will launch on March 21, 2023, Pacific Time, for US$30.
How is this car so desirable needs no detailing for veteran collectors. There have not been many HW lowriders with an articulated suspension that would allow for an adjustable stance from high to low and even drops to a three-wheel motion.
I believe there have just two individual releases with adjustable suspension – both of which are Impala, and there was a 3-pack prior which had the Monte Carlo. We do not know the exact number but it really is just a handful. If asked me, I’d say there are less than 10 so far.
Anyhoo, this particular iteration, which has a full-metal, chrome-plated chassis, is rocking a Spectraflame antifreeze finish with pinstripes and custom patterns running smoothly along the long-flared fender and quarter panels.
It rolls on Real Riders Low Rider wheels with white stripe tampo. The scale is, of course, 1:64, and it has an interior in antifreeze, light smoke-tinted windows, and a customized license plate that reads ‘WESTSID’ as an additional nod to its origins which is Southern California.
If you want one, be sure to get yourself signed up as an RLC member and be ready to hit the add to cart button on March 21, 2023, at 9 AM, PT.
