==Description==
−
'''The Hood''' was the first casting in the [[1971 Hot Wheels]] series, and is also known as the '''[[Hiway Robber]]''' for [[1973 Hot Wheels]] Series. The neat feature on this [[Die-cast]] [[Hot Wheels]] is, the plastic roof slides back into the roof. This [[1971 Hot Wheels]] had the [[Spectraflame]] colors and some varied in having the painted black roof, and the [[Window Color]] varied as well between Blue Tint and Clear.

'''The Hood''' is a Hot Wheels casting, designed by [[Larry Wood]], which was first released in the [[List of 1971 Hot Wheels|1971 range of vehicles]]. It appears to take design inspiration from early coach-built cars where the driver would sit in the front and the passenger would sit in an enclosed cabin. A neat feature on this car is the movable black plastic roof, which can cover the driver's compartment or slide back into the body.

In [[List of 1973 Hot Wheels|1973]], '''The Hood''' was re-released without the sliding roof and renamed [[Hiway Robber]].

Description

The Hood is a Hot Wheels casting, designed by Larry Wood, which was first released in the 1971 range of vehicles. It appears to take design inspiration from early coach-built cars where the driver would sit in the front and the passenger would sit in an enclosed cabin. A neat feature on this car is the movable black plastic roof, which can cover the driver's compartment or slide back into the body.  

It was manufactured in both USA and Hong Kong and came out in various Spectraflame colors with some from Hong Kong having black painted roof (more information below). USA manufactured cars have a black interior and clear glass and Hong Kong manufactured cars have a dark brown interior and blue tinted glass. It was packaged with a plastic 'collectors button'. 

It could be also found on cards with a 'Zappit Pak' accessory, a rubber-band powered launcher.

In 1973, The Hood was re-released without the sliding roof and renamed Hiway Robber.
