The Mod Rod from 2023 is a standout model that celebrates the brand's history as part of the HW 55 Race Team series. Designed by Dmitriy Shakhmatov, this car features classic hot rod styling with an aggressive stance and exposed engine details. As a Treasure Hunt release within the Mainline assortment, it holds special significance for collectors who enjoy hunting for limited edition vehicles in retail packs. This specific casting showcases a matte race team blue body that contrasts beautifully against its white base and chrome accents. The vibrant orange windows add another layer of visual interest to the design.
