Description[]

The Custom Otto is a muscle car based on the artwork from the original Hot Wheels packaging from 1968. This casting, referred to as the "Lost Redline" in years past was resurrected in 2008 for Hot Wheel's 40th Anniversary. The car was created by Larry Wood from original artwork by artist, Otto Kuhni and named Custom Otto to honor Otto.

The Custom Otto actually makes an appearance in the movie film The Christmas Chronicle in the scene where Santa (played by Kurt Russell) tries to prove to the officer that he is indeed Santa by magically giving the officers toys from his childhood. This includes an original Kenner Han Solo Star Wars figure, an original GI Joe Figure, a Snoopy astronaut, and lastly a Hot Wheels Redline era Custom Otto (more than likely from the 2008 RLC variation). The officer is impressed and confused on how Kurt Russell's character knows about his childhood so well, but for every die-hard Hot Wheels collector knows that the Custom Otto did not appear in the 60s/70s mainline, as suggested in the film. See Gallery for details.
