Hot Wheels Takes Color Shifting Mustang On Tour

Lucky Canadian Mustang fans -- and Hot Wheels fans -- are getting a chance to have a unique look at one of their favorites this summer as Mattel takes its specially painted pony from B.C. to Nova Scotia.

The star of the Hot Wheels Colour Shifters Road Trip is, of course, a spanking new Ford Mustang bathed in thermochromatic paint that changes color with the temperature. Don’t like it light? Try some cold water. That’s what you’ll be able to try at more than 50 festivals, camps and family events in various towns and cities. After splashing the Stang, you’ll be able to pick up a new Hot Wheels car with the same color-changing skin.

The Hot Wheels Colour Shifters Road Trip kicked off in Toronto on Tuesday, June 29 -- the last day of school -- at Yonge and Dundas Square, headed east to Halifax (sorry Newfoundland -- Canada ends at Nova Scotia for Mattel Canada.)

“We are very excited for Canada to see the super cool life-size Hot Wheels Colour Shifters Mustang in their town or city,” says Melissa Chau, Hot Wheels assistant brand manager for Mattel Canada. “These little cars have had a big impact on children and adults alike and it’s great to showcase the Hot Wheels brand on the grassroots level and remind Canadians why generations have grown up playing with, trading and collecting Hot Wheels”.
