The Gov’ner – use this as a base – dont mention the casting, vehicle –
According to graphics designer MiQ Willmott, Fraser did not want any graphics (tampos) added to The Gov’ner for its 2004 First Editions release. Towards the end of the run however, a subtle broken gray line was added to the rear sides of the car. The 2004 Hot Wheels poster showed an asterisk next to this model’s name, indicating “name subject to change” although it never was changed.
The casting was retooled in 2015 to become a post-post design.
