Description

The Deora II was designed by Nathan Proch. The initial Deora II model was inspired by the 1964 Deora showcar and includes similar design elements that have been modernized like surf boards, a spoiler over the engine and an oval windshield. This design, like the Deora, (being based on a 1960 Ford station wagon) is based on an actual production vehicle. Designer Nathan Proch used design cues taken from the rear end of a 1996 Ford Taurus station wagon. The Deora II has swoopy curves contrasting with original Deora's 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, Mother's, 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 with Carson Lev.

A little known fact is that the car was actually seen prior to the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame ceremony when it debuted a week earlier at SEMA. The car has also undergone modification from it's launch with KMC Wheels subbed in for the Foose One-off's that match the 1/18th scale model's and the original design of Nathan Proch.

The Deora II was retooled in 2021; the surfboards are now molded into the body and the casting is now a post-post design.

2009 card

From the back of the 2009 card:

Born: 1999
Birthplace: EL Segundo, CA, USA
Designer: Hot Wheels^®
Specialty: A modern version of the Deora^® with a bubble windshield, rear-mounted engine, and two surfboards, this car was made for lazy summer "daze".

In Other HW Media

In Highway 35 World Race The Deora II was one of the many vehicles in the World Race. It was driven by #1 driver Vert Wheeler after he found it mysteriously parked in front of his house. The motor is built at the rear of the car and two turbo jump jets to get him out of a tricky situation quickly, and with style.
