Description[]
The Demon was a car in the 1970 Hot Wheels series, based on the Dave Stuckey customized '32 Ford Lil' Coffin show car of the '50s-60s. Generally found with black interior, it can be found with white interior. Magenta is found with white interior only and is considered rare. The model was packaged with a metal or plastic Collector's Button.
The Demon was renamed Prowler (variously named in sources as either Prowler or The Prowler) in 1973 due to apparent complains from religious parents. It came in various assorted enamel colors, which were used due to the safety issues associated with the lead paint used for the older Spectraflame colors which were retired the same year for safety reasons. Straight axles were used as opposed to bent axles to cut further costs. The casting got a new tool & die to be released as The Demon in 1993 for the 25th Anniversary Series and current reissues.
Since 2007 the casting was renamed Double Demon (unrelated to the Speed Demons casting of the same name). A panel version of the Demon was created in 2010, being named the Double Demon Delivery.
