Hot Wheels Car Culture Japan Historics 4 '73 Honda Civic Custom Vehicle Toy Minicar for ages 3 and up Red HRV85
explanation
[Contents] The Honda Civic is now in its 11th generation, with the first generation having been released in 1972. While current Civics have larger bodies, the first generation was a compact car that was meant to be a step up from a minicar, with a total length of about 3.5m and a total width of about 1.5m.
What made the first-generation Civic famous worldwide was that it was the first car in the world to clear the Muskie Act, the US emission regulations that were said to be the strictest in the world at the time, with a technology called CVCC (Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion), achieving both environmental friendliness and a smooth ride. This established the image that the car exuded a sense of cleverness just by riding in it, and that it was also fun to drive, not only in Japan but also in the US, and it became extremely popular, especially among young people.
Hot Wheels has chosen a custom version based on the first generation, with the front bumper removed and replaced with a chin spoiler and fog lights, and overfenders to accommodate the wide tires. The small details of the sports grade, RS, sold exclusively in Japan, such as the emblem, window frames, and front grille are reproduced with meticulous printing.
