Deora II

Description
The Deora II was designed by Nathan Proch as the #5 First Edition in the 2000 Hot Wheels Mainline. The initial Deora model was inspired by the 1964 Deora showcar and includes surf boards, a spoiler over the engine and an oval windshield, and the Deora II took this theme and carried it into the new millenium. With further design cues taken from the rear end of a 1996 Ford Taurus station wagon, the Deora II has swoopy curves where the original Deora was all about sharp-angled lines.

In 2003, as part of Hot Wheels' 35th Anniversary, the Deora II was built into an actual 1:1 scale car. Hot Wheels teamed up with Chip Foose, Five Axis, KMC Wheels, and PPG Industries to pull off this amazing Hot Wheels original design. It was also featured in the Hot Wheels Highway 35 movie.


 * The Deora II was inducted into the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame in 2003 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Jay Leno drove the car to the induction.
