The Purple Passion designed by the legendary Larry Wood (one of his 2 favorites) is based on a custom chopped and channeled '51 Mercury Coupe like the ones he had seen in the 1950's Rod & Custom magazine*. It was the first design that was not bound by some of Mattel's restrictions. Like: "It must perform well on the track" (remember the orange tracks?) and "All wheels must be visible". At the same time it was also the first model that was also aimed at the adult collector.
