Description[]
According to graphics designer MiQ Willmott, Fraser did not want any graphics (tampos) added to The Gov'ner for its 2004 First Editions release. Towards the end of the run however, a subtle broken gray line was added to the rear sides of the car. The 2004 Hot Wheels poster showed an asterisk next to this model's name, indicating "name subject to change" although it never was changed.
The casting is a depiction of a sleek futuristic sports car. In 2015, the casting was changed and became a post-post design.
