The Chevrolet Nova Wagon is the station wagon version of the first generation Chevrolet Nova. This was one of the many station wagons offered in the 1960s. At that time, station wagons (or "estate cars") were a popular vehicle choice for families because of their ability to carry large loads and small groups of people without the need for a large van.

Station wagons were essentially the minivans of the 1960s and 1970s; family cars with lots of carrying room for luggage and passengers. The Hot Wheels casting portrays a custom Chevrolet Nova Wagon modified into a gasser.

The base of the casting reads '64 Chevy Nova Gasser.

This is a highly customized version of the original Fiat 500, produced in Italy from 1936 to 1955. The "C" stands for "Customized" (not to be confused with the later 500C - Cabriolet). It features a 569cc four-cylinder engine with the radiator mounted at the rear, giving the car its distinctive sloping nose. The vehicle was popularly known as the "Topolino," literally meaning "little mouse," but more specifically the Italian name for Disney's Mickey Mouse. The Hot Wheels version has been converted into a dragster, complete with a high-mounted wing and exposed engine. Like many racing cars, this Fiat has been modified to feature central drive, with the steering wheel now positioned in the center of the car.

The '68 Corvette - Gas Monkey Garage is a 1/64th scale version of the real-life 1968 Chevrolet Corvette. This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette was commissioned by Hot Wheels and built by Gas Monkey Garage. The entire build was documented on the hit show "Fast N' Loud." The car is also known as the "Midas Monkey." The base of the casting reads Gas Monkey '68 Corvette.

Bone Shaker is a rat rod created by Larry Wood. Featuring a distinctive skull on its front, the Bone Shaker is one of Larry Wood's favorite Hot Wheels models to design as well as one of Hot Wheels' most famous and iconic models. Featuring both closed and open roof versions and even a version with the Joker's face instead of the skull, the Bone Shaker has spawned numerous additional derivatives, with alternative takes on the iconic design.

A real-life version of Bone Shaker was created by Action Vehicle Engineering in 2011. It is based on a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and features the 5.7L V8 from said Corvette.

Rigor Motor is a hot rod shaped like a coffin or casket; its name is a play on "rigor mortis" (the stiffening of a dead body) and "motor". The shape of Rigor Motor's bubble canopy resembles the cockpit of the similarly coffin-based "DRAG-U-LA" show car, designed by Tom Daniel for the sitcom The Munsters.

In 2014, changes to the casting were apparently made, but there are no noticeable differences. In 2017, a major change to the casting was made, with the front bird ornament cast into the body, the skull ornaments removed, the canopy and engine made smaller and the base made plastic; these were ostensibly made for cost-cutting.
