Hot Wheels Whip Creamer II - Mardi Gras Edition

This Hot Wheels has a strange name and an interesting design.  It's the Hot Wheels Whip Creamer II.  It almost looks like a fairly successful Pinewood Derby car that I had long, long, ago as a Cub Scout.  I picked this car up a few years ago at Kroger as part of a Mardi Gras series.

The car has a beads motif in the paint job and a transparent violet roof that retracts to reveal the gold interior of the car.  Even more interesting, this car has a history.  In 1970, Hot Wheels released an original Hot Wheels Whip Creamer car.  According to the Wikia, the original Whip Creamer was designed by Paul Tam and the Whip Creamer 2 car was designed by his son, Alec Tam.

I like the tunnel effect under the car shown in the photo above.  It's pretty slick.  Overall, this is a very unusual car and it has an interesting back story.
