Designed by Ferdinand Porsche, The Type 1 Sedan lived up to its name by becoming the choice for millions of car owners around the globe. Better known today as the Beetle, the Type 1 surpassed Ford’s Model T as the best-selling automobile of all time in 1972. The Hot Wheels x MoMA model features rear-rider wheels and a rear hood that opens to showcase the car’s motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFrance has a rich history in the art and design world, and that includes car design. Sweeping curves creating a teardrop-shaped body lend a sleek silhouette to the 1973 Citroën DS23 Sedan. Innovation was at the forefront of this vehicle, especially when it came to the suspension. Seeing the self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension adjust the vehicle’s height, giving it a floating appearance, is in itself a work of art. The minimalistic interior creates a crossroads of sophistication and simplicity as it seamlessly integrates with its futuristic body shape. Suffice it to say, designers Flamino Bertoni and André Lefèbvre took design intention to a whole other level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMade from die-cast metal and plastic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCase: 2.9h x 5.75w x 4\"d\u003cbr\u003eCitroen: 0.6h x 2.75w x 1\"d\u003cbr\u003eVolkswagen: 0.75h x 2.75w x 0.8\"d\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eManufactured and distributed by Mattel under license. © 2025 The Museum of Modern Art.
