Majorette Michellin Vehicles

Those who follow F1 a few years ago will know that Michellin and Bridgestone were fighting their tires war on tracks. Then Bridgestone sealed their faith to be the sole distributor of F1 tires to all F1 teams. This year Bridgestone announced that they will quit F1 after the 2010 seasons. Now there are several Tires manufacturers(Michellin, Pirelli, etc) fighting for that spot again. Many suggested that Michellin will win.

Here are two vehicles with yellow and blue livery painted with Michellin infamous Tire man logo. Both are from a popular French toys maker, Majorette. Both the truck and delivery vehicles are from Renault. Check it out.

Hot Wheels Deora II

One of my favorite Hot Wheels is the Deora II. Hot Wheels actually build the tiny 1:64 Hot Wheels to the actual 1:1 scale Deora II.



A little history taken from Wikipedia.....

The Deora II was designed by Nathan Proch. It debuted as the #5 First Edition in the 2000 Hot Wheels Mainline. The initial Deora II model was inspired by the 1964 Deora showcar and includes similar design elements that have been modernized like surf boards, a spoiler over the engine and an oval windshield. This design, like the Deora, is based on an actual production vehicle. Designer Nathan Proch used design cues taken from the rear end of a 1996 Ford Taurus station wagon. The Deora II has swoopy curves contrasting with original Deora's sharp-angled lines.

In 2003, as part of Hot Wheels' 35th Anniversary, the Deora II was built into an actual 1:1 scale car. Hot Wheels teamed up with Chip Foose, Five Axis, Mother's, and PPG Industries to pull off this amazing Hot Wheels original design. It was also featured in the Hot Wheels Highway 35 movie.

The Deora II was inducted into the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame in 2003 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. Jay Leno drove the car to the induction with Carson Lev.

A little known fact is that the car was actually seen prior to the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame ceremony when it debuted a week earlier at SEMA. The car has also undergone modification from it's launch with KMC Wheels subbed in for the Foose One-off's that match the 1/18th scale model's and the original design of Nathan Proch."
