Description[]
Erikenstein Rod is a depiction of a custom-built hot rod truck. A slice of pizza and a rat are present in the interior, the latter being an inside joke with Hot Wheels designer Dmitriy Shakhmatov.

2020 card[]
From the back of the 2020 card:
Born: 2020, El Segundo, California
Designer: Hot Wheels®
Slammed to the ground, wide bodied, roll-caged and a blown engine, this hot rod truck was meant to haul something, but it ain't cargo.
