Tail Dragger

From Hot Wheels Wiki

Tail Dragger
Debut Series 1998 First Editions
Produced 1998-Present
Designer Gary Saffer
Number 659

This car is based on the '41 Willys, with the backend resembling the Ford Deluxe Coupe. Due to the metal base, the car is very heavy.  It is not recommended for use on hotwheels tracks, as the metal base and the low ground clearance make the Tail Dragger difficult to climb steep slopes and go around loops.
