Weekly featuring - '55 Chevy Panel

Recently received this '55 Chevy Panel as a gift from Sinclair..
Start to collect this casting a few months back and goin slow with it due to the casting is hard to come-by and a bit pricey..

Some info about the '55 Chevy Panel from Hot Wheels wiki.
The '55 Chevy Panel made its debut as #37 2006 First Edition. It quickly became popular with both Collectors and Customizers. The First Edition '55 Chevy Panel is Metal Flake Blue with a metal body and metal unpainted chassis, and has "Hot Wheels Chopper" on the sides with an opening rear door that reveals a Chopper inside that pulls out.
2007 Fun Fact #30 of 180: The '55 Chevy Panel was the heaviest model of 2006, weighing over 80 grams.

Enjoy the pics..
