Hot Wheels Mooneyes Anglia Panel Truck

Dean Moon was a legend in the Hot Rodding hobby and performance parts industry.  He built and sponsored many drag racers in his day.  His shop was known by the Mooneyes logo.  Today, it continues under knew ownership.  The Mooneyes logo is depicted on this Hot Wheels Ford Anglia Panel truck.

Dean Moon is perhaps best known for those smooth stainless steel hubcaps that are on so many vintage hot rods.  While these aren't made by the Moon company, they are similar in look.


If you'd like to read more about the man, this Hemmings article on Dean Moon is a great place to start.

I like the personality of this Hot Wheels car and I love the fact that it does have a sense of history.  Some Anglia castings have hoods that open, but this one does not.
