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 Toyota 2000 GT Convertible. This is the only convertible version of the 2000 GT done in 1;64 scale. The convertible was a custom version of the GT with 3 prepared for a James Bond movie. The black tires have silver wheel centers. Playart also produced 'in-house' diecast for Woolworths, McCrory and Sears stores. For a full story on Playart, visit the 'Tales of Toy Cars' Webzine.
