Splittin' Image Description

Splittin' Image was a car from the 1969 Hot Wheels line-up.

Splittin' Image has two separate cockpits. It has a large engine with two exhaust pipes running down the length of the car. These exhaust pipes run between the two cockpits. In the very front of Splittin' Image are what appear to be headlights. On most versions of Splittin' Image, there was a group of small nubs near the back of the windows. The Shell Promo versions did not have these nubs.

Made in the USA only
