Description
The Pontiac Salsa was a 1992 Concept Car which was designed by GM's Advanced Concept Centre in California. It was a convertible, hatchback and pickup all in one, with various tops and tonneau covers able to be switched out. According to a sales brochure, the car uses a 1.5L DOHC inline-4 mated to a 5-speed transmission. The car is front-wheel drive.
The Hot Wheels version debuted as part of the Demolition Movie set of 9 cars, which were each sold individually packaged with a Park 'n Plates box, however, the box was called a Cryo-Cube. Along with the Oldsmobile Aurora, the Pontiac Salsa does not appear in the movie.
In 1999, The Pontiac Salsa was retired, and was released for the final time as part of the Final Run Series.
