The story behind the Custom Volkswagen Beetle
The Custom Volkswagen Beetle brings a playful twist to classic automotive history by reimagining one of the world's most recognizable silhouettes in a lowrider style. Released in 2023 as part of Mystery Models Series 2, this diecast model captures the spirit of custom car culture with its wide stance and unique detailing. Designed by Larry Wood, the car features a striking pale blue body that contrasts beautifully against the wood-grain accents on the sides. This specific release is notable for its limited availability within the mystery assortment format, making it a fun challenge to find for collectors who enjoy hunting through blind bags or display cases.
Materials, colors and value
Constructed primarily from plastic at a 1/64 scale, this model prioritizes visual appeal and durability over heavy metal components. The color scheme is vibrant, featuring a matte pale blue body paired with light brown and brown interior details that simulate the custom wood paneling seen in real-life lowriders. Windows are tinted to add depth to the cabin view. Because it was part of a limited run series in 2023 rather than an open retail mainline release, its value to collectors often depends on condition and completeness. Fans of unique paint jobs or VW history frequently seek out this SKU HLR31 for display purposes.
