the 2020 Hot Wheels™ Legends Tour winner, the 1970 Pontiac Trans Am
built by Riley Stair of Sacramento, California. This is only the
third fan vehicle to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels toy and will

Trans Am is also the newest inductee into the Hot Wheels Garage of
Legends™, a collection of one-of-a-kind cars that celebrates the

The announcement was made by Ted Wu, Vice President and Global
Head of Design for Vehicles at Mattel, during the sixth North
American stop of the 2021 Hot Wheels Legends Tour presented by
Mobil 1. Out of hundreds of cars entered across event stops
throughout Europe, LATAM, Asia and North America, Stair’s build was
chosen for its true representation of the Hot Wheels garage spirit,
and this “built, not bought” mentality continues to drive the 2021
Legends Tour.
“We love all cars, but to be turned into a Hot Wheels that is
sold around the world, the build needs to be extra special and more
unique and creative than every car around it,” said Wu. “Riley
Stair built a masterpiece that we know will be as exciting to see
on the shelf as it is on the road.”
The hunt for the next winning Legends Tour fan car and die-cast
model continues with two finalist spots remaining for the U.S. and
Canada ahead of the semi-final and Global Grand Finale rounds later
this year. As in past years, expert judges – including Hot Wheels
designers, celebrities and automotive influencers – will continue
to evaluate fan car entries on the criteria of creativity,
authenticity and garage spirit.
To date, North American winners include: a 1968 Mercedes Benz
250S from Penticton, British Columbia, Canada; a custom aluminum
racer named “Lulu” from Santa Fe, New Mexico; the 1969 Daytona
Charger Superbird “Scraptona” from Macob, Michigan; the
Miami-winning 1929 “Loosie” Ford Model A; and a 1975 Opel Manta
from Garden City, Michigan.
