Description
The Custom Otto is 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.
