About This Item
Hot Wheels Hirohata Merc Rod Squad 5/5 #143/250 is the Metalflake Apple Green second-color 2024 version of this historically inspired custom-car casting. Product code HTD66-N9C0N identifies the packaged example shown here. The model features a bright metallic Apple Green body with silver side trim, detailed fender badges and headlights, a dark green lower body and base, clear windows, chrome-colored interior components, and contrasting whitewall-style 5-spoke wheels.
The Hirohata Merc is based on the famous custom 1951 Mercury Club Coupe created by Barris Customs for Bob Hirohata. Its chopped roofline, heavily lowered stance, flowing fenders, rear wheel skirts, smoothed bodywork, and extensive chrome-style trim reflect the distinctive appearance that made the full-size Hirohata Mercury one of the most influential American customs of its era. This Apple Green release is numbered 143 of 250 in the 2024 Hot Wheels mainline and 5 of 5 within the Rod Squad mini collection.

Why Collect This Model
The Hirohata Merc represents an important chapter in American custom-car history, combining the sweeping lines of a 1951 Mercury with the radical body modifications associated with early custom culture. This Metalflake Apple Green second-color version gives the 2024 debut casting a noticeably different appearance from the earlier Seafoam Green release while retaining its lowered stance, rear wheel skirts, whitewall-style wheels, and period-inspired chrome detailing. It fits naturally into collections focused on Mercury vehicles, Barris-style customs, traditional American customs, Rod Squad releases, first-year Hot Wheels castings, and color variations.
