Hot Wheels has produced numerous versions of the Buick Grand National diecasts in their “Fast & Furious” model line.
That means there were lots of 1:64 scale prototype versions created in the process.
We’re again showing you the latest offerings from this ebay seller (king.toys.hobbies, who resides in Malaysia), who often has these special one-off test run pieces for sale.
Here’s 2 of the Buick Grand National prototypes, assumably both related to figuring out what styles were to be used for the 2024 F&F car (since both look the exact same except for the wheel selection).

Seller says about these cars:
This is an authentic production prototype vehicle directly from the Mattel plant in Malaysia.
This prototype vehicle in this auction was saved from being destroyed since it differs slightly from the chosen design.
It is extremely rare as only a handful of prototypes are produced.
This is an actual vehicle created in the production process at the factory.
.
These are more neat additions to your Buick diecast collection for those who like to acquire non-mass produced scale model vehicles (AKA “rare stuff”).
