Here’s Your Chance to Own HOT ROD Garage’s “The Savoy,” Sort Of
Hot Wheels and MotorTrend team up to shrink HOT ROD Garage’s famed 1955 Plymouth Savoy so everyone can own one.
You’ve watched HOT ROD Garage’s co-hosts Alex Taylor and Lucky Costa build it and race it, and thanks to Hot Wheels, you can add a miniature 1955 Plymouth Savoy to your car collection.
The HOT ROD Garage Hot Wheels 1955 Plymouth Savoy die-cast is available now at the MotorTrend Store and at your local Walmart store.
The classic ride, simply dubbed “the Savoy,” was built a few years ago through a series of HOT ROD Garage episodes to compete at the famed Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge. It instantly became a success on and off the track.
Why Choose a Plymouth Savoy?
The 1955 Plymouth Savoy surely doesn’t scream performance or attract an enormous amount of attention like Chevy’s Tri-Five series of cars, so why would HOT ROD Garage want to build one? The answer is quite simple.
The yearly Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge hosts a Grudge Match event that pits influencers against each other in cars that are powered by Direct Connection engines.
The caveat is that the influencers must use a Dodge or Dodge-related vehicle for their build.
Alex races a patina-covered 1955 Chevy at events like HOT ROD Drag Week, so the idea was to build a Plymouth version for the 2022 event, keeping on-brand with the resident hot-shoe while adhering to the Dodge rules of the game.
