Description

The Pontiac Salsa is a convertible utility which was designed by GM's Advanced Concept Centre in California in 1992. It was a convertible, hatchback and pickup all in one, with various tops and tonneau covers able to be switched out. According to a sales brochure, the car uses a 1.5L DOHC inline-4 mated to a 5-speed transmission. The car is front-wheel drive.

The Hot Wheels version debuted as part of the Demolition Man Movie set of 9 cars, which were each sold individually packaged with a Park 'n Plates box, however, the box was called a Cryo-Cube. Along with the Oldsmobile Aurora, the Pontiac Salsa does not appear in the movie.

This casting does not feature an actual windshield; it instead features a piece of metal molded as part of the body and some portions painted in to vaguely resemble a windshield. The casting also features a number of differences and inaccuracies when compared to the actual concept car. Early releases of the casting feature copyright on the base pertaining to Warner Bros.; this was later changed to "Pontiac Salsa".
