Hot Wheels Legends Tour, the traveling show designed for gearheads to show off their custom cars, is ready to crown its sixth winner, whose vehicle will be immortalized as a 1:64-scale Hot Wheels die-cast vehicle.
There are 10 finalists this year from the U.S., the U.K., Poland, Germany, France, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Mexico. Each finalist has a custom vehicle that doubles as a work of art, with hours of work going into modifications that make them truly unique.
