Changes: Fast Gassin

Revision as of 21:21, 21 September 2021

Description

The Fast Gassin is a Hot Wheels original model designed by John Violette. It is based on a heavy tanker truck. It has eight massive exhausts sticking out above the cab. In 2016 the casting underwent a major casting change: it lost its double rear axle. The side panel was extended.

The casting was retooled again in 2018, with the casting using slightly more metal on the door panel and the interior piece and smokestacks now being made part of the exterior tank.

Of note is that there is a minor error on the 2016 release's card; the first color shows the casting having three axles on the card (despite it only having two). This was corrected for the second release.
