DESCRIPTION The Playart vehicles produced in the 1970's and 1980's, also known as Fast Wheels, are some of most interesting diecast to come out of Hong Kong. Difficult to find today, they are inexpensive and often offer examples of small-scale cars done by no other company. An unique vehicle in the series is a 1968 Porsche Carrera 910, one of Porsche's most successful race cars of the 1960's. The black tires have silver wheel centers. The engine compartment opens to reveal the six-cylinder racing engine. Playart also produced 'in-house' diecast for Woolworths, McCrory and Sears stores.
