Description[]
The Hemi Cuda is a Hot Wheels casting based on the production car of the same name, debuting in the Hot Wheels Classics Series. This casting has also been called Plymouth Hemi Cuda and '68 Plymouth Hemi Cuda. The Chassis of this casting clearly reads Hemi Cuda and that is why that name is used for the title of this page.
According to the characteristic bump in the hood and front, the Y-shaped front grille and the design of the seats, this casting is more likely based on a custom '69 model. Phil Riehlman owns a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda notchback similar to this casting.
